What is Heuristics ?
• Heuristic is an adjective for experience-based techniques that
help in problem solving, learning and discovery.
• A heuristic method is particularly used to rapidly come to a
solution that is hoped to be close to the best possible answer,
or 'optimal solution'.
• Heuristics are "rules of thumb", educated guesses, intuitive
judgments or simply common sense.
• A Heuristic is a general way of solving a problem.
Jakob Nielson
Usability Guru
• Heuristics stand for strategies using readily accessible
information to control problem solving in human beings and
machines.
