Zusammenfassung	Icon Usability Testing is a systematic method for evaluating how well users understand the meaning of graphical icons and symbols. By combining comprehension testing, task performance measurement, and preference assessment, this pipeline ensures that icons effectively communicate their intended functions across diverse user populations.	Gestalt Principles Analysis is a framework for evaluating how visual elements are organized and grouped within a design or image. Originating in early twentieth-century perceptual psychology, this method assesses how principles like proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure guide viewers' perception of coherent wholes rather than disconnected parts.
