Abstract
In the automotive domain icons are popular and widespread, but it is not absolutely clear how to select icons according to a number of usability requirements. In this paper, we introduce a procedure for the evaluation of icons. Besides taking into account former icon test approaches, this new test is the first to explicitly consider various relevant criteria from current ISO standards in the field of Human-Computer-Interaction. We provide a test description in-cluding four diverse subtasks, and provide exemplary results for the icon drafts belonging to two features.
