All the experts were new to the novel set of
heuristics and none of the experts involved in
the generation of heuristics discussed above
were involved in the experimental study.

We used hp iPAQ Pocket PC series h5500
PDAs with integrated wireless LAN
(802.11b), 48 MB ROM, 128 MB RAM,
and Intel processor 400 MHz. The PDAs
were running Windows CE.

It should be noted that some of the partici-
pants indicated that some of the flaws were
individually related to more than one type
of heuristic (and thus the number of counts
for the heuristics shown in Table 6 (and also
Table 7) is greater than the number of flaws
as shown in Table 4).
