The Cost Of the Cognitive Walkthrough
The cost of the cognitive walkthrough (CW) varies
to the extent that the turnaround time varies. Having a longer CW
inspection conducted costs more money for the organization and specifically
the type of people used in the CW will influence the cost as each will
have different salaries or contracts. Obviously having a trained
usability specialist will be more costly than using a current designer
with some basic CW understanding. Therefore, the cost of the
CW can range a great deal depending on how it is done, who participates,
and how long it takes. Refer to question #2 on turnaround time as
the cost of the CW will increase with increased turnaround time.
