Heuristic Analysis

Heuristic analysis is a method used to identify potential issues or risks in systems, processes, or designs based on experienced judgment and established guidelines. Instead of relying solely on fixed rules or testing every possible scenario, it uses best practices, patterns, and common sense to quickly spot areas that may be problematic. This approach allows for efficient evaluation, helping experts prioritize where to investigate further or improve, often in contexts like software usability, security, or quality assurance. It’s a practical way to assess things efficiently without exhaustive testing.
