AN E-USABILITY VIEW OF THE WEB: A SYSTEMIC METHOD FOR USER INTERFACES

Different approaches can be applied to assess the usability of a web application. Each one of them presents advantages and drawbacks, as well as cost-benefits trade-offs. This contribution contains a short review of the state-of-the-art in web usability assessment issues, by focusing on a new systemic approach, called "e-usability", designed to deal in a more integrated way with the human-computer interaction, so as to allow a more realistic assessment of web interfaces. The applied methodology is quick and doesn't need any artifact design or evaluation cost.
