Сводка	Heatmaps and scrollmaps are behavioral analytics tools that visually represent user attention and interaction on web pages and screens. Click heatmaps show where users click most frequently, visualized as color-coded density overlays. Scrollmaps show how far down pages users scroll and where they typically stop. These passive tracking methods collect aggregate data from hundreds or thousands of real users, revealing attention patterns, engagement hotspots, and content visibility issues without requiring direct user interaction or controlled studies.	Heuristic Evaluation is a usability inspection method in which small teams of expert evaluators examine an interface and judge its compliance with established usability principles (heuristics). Developed by Jakob Nielsen and Rolf Molich in 1990, this method is rapid and low-cost, identifying 60–90% of usability problems with as few as 3–5 evaluators. Nielsen's Ten Usability Heuristics—visibility of system status, match between system and real world, user control and freedom, consistency and standards, error prevention and recovery, recognition over recall, flexibility and efficiency, aesthetic and minimalist design, error recovery, and documentation—form the basis of most evaluations.
