Resumo: | ||||||||
The amount of e-commerce websites has increased rapidly.
However, issues
involving their usability many tomes have been overlooked.
This research is
concerned about the inefficiency of the presentation of
products in general, in ecommerce
websites at the moment of purchase. This incompetence
jeopardizes the
accomplishment of the task by the user, who will become
frustrated and
unsatisfied not to mention the economic losses. It is
intended, with the research, to
improve the usability of the e-commerce websites through
the identification of
factors that will enable the user to select better his
products at the moment of
purchase. Moreover, it is intended to contribute to the
development of solutions of
usability issues and to improve the studies of IHC. Some
methods and techniques
were used, in four stages: First of all, through the Task
Analysis, we could
observe the clients actions at the very moment of
selection of two products from
the real store; Secondly, through the Heuristic
Evaluation, we tried to study the
interface of the domestic appliance websites selected for
a survey from the Task
Analysis; On a third stage, through the Cooperative
Evaluation, we analyzed the
process of selection of the same products mentioned above
by the clients on
virtual store; At last, the actions of the users were both
analyzed and compared in
the virtual store and the real store, in order to verify
the differences between them
at the moment of the products selection. By means of this
work, the hypothesis
could be confirmed and became evident that the interfaces
of the e-commerce
websites showed low levels of usability, risking the
performance of task by the
users besides leading the user to frustration and most of
the time making him give
up the purchase.
