Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper, we present an observational descriptive study of news websites, focusing on aspects related to interface
design, accessibility and usability. Interface design was evaluated by measuring selected areas from web pages
screenshots. As for the accessibility, automatic testing tools were used in the evaluation and analysis. Finally, a total of
145 user tests were conducted to evaluate overall usability. Our sample had a total of 30 websites, divided in both
Portuguese and international websites. Contributions include a state of the art of news websites and a comparison
between Portuguese and international websites in this area. |
