Neilson's Usability Heuristics.

​Jakob Nielsen, a renowned usability consultant and co-founder of the Nielsen Norman Group, introduced the usability heuristics in 1994. These heuristics are a set of general principles for user interface design that have since become widely used in the field of human-computer interaction and usability engineering. They provide guidelines for designing more usable and user-friendly interfaces.
