Quality

Icons help users to familiarize themselves with an interface. However, this only works if the icons are of sufficiently good quality.

Their quality can be measured with the scientifically based usability method implemented for the Icon Test. We are offering you this method optimized for Web-based surveys.

The Icon Usability Test measures the quality of each icon based on three different criteria:

• Strength of association: This indicates the ease with which an icon can be understood.

• Selectivity: This indicates the ease with which an icon can be distinguished.

• Conspicuity: This indicates how quickly an icon is identified.

The Icon Test is the only usability method for icons that combines subjective decisions from the test participants with objective measurements of the response time. This enables you to identify the best icons for any application.

The Icon Test is the easy and cost-effective way to receive reliable answers to your questions about the usability of icons.
