This study presents the evaluation process with 10 pages which is not too long to read and not too short to grasp the concepts. If you are new to usability evaluation, I recommend this paper to acquire knowledge of evaluation process. Firstly, the paper clearly stated the purpose of the study and objectives of the newly designed prototype. Secondly the methodology is included in the paper which helps the reader to get clear understanding of the procedures of the study.
