Resumo


Este artigo apresenta uma técnica de inspeção de usabilidade (WDP - Web Design Perspectives-Based Usability Evaluation) e a metodologia experimental utilizada como base para seu desenvolvimento e aprimoramento. Até o presente momento foram executados três estudos experimentais (um secundário e dois primários) que levaram à versão atual da técnica WDP. Resultados indicam que a técnica é viável e que é possivelmente mais efetiva e tão eficiente quanto a Avaliação Heurística proposta por Nielsen.
