Abstract

Historically, most web designers and their clients have approached the desktop side of any project first, while leaving the mobile part as a secondary goal that gets accomplished later. Lately there is a growing trend in the industry to flip this workflow and to begin with mobile considerations and then work up to a larger desktop version. Testing mobile versions of the websites is becoming an important task for developers and clients. Therefore, industries that aim their businesses to youth must take into consideration the quality of mobile versions of their websites. One of such industries is education. School websites are already published, it is necessary to test the usability of mobile devices at schools. From the point of usability, navigation in mobile versions of websites is an important factor. If the navigation structure and information display are not usable, it can greatly impact the overall usability of websites. This paper focuses on application of navigation testing methods using a head camera and video analysis to evaluate the mobile versions of websites. As the research object six Jelgava city secondary school websites are used. GoPro camera was chosen to take videos from the user's view point and to follow up activities and record comments. As the testing device iPad 2 tablet computer with the Internet browser Safari was selected. Before testing was executed, the participants needed to complete a questionnaire. Participants' behavior observation was performed and it shows a similar action pattern. The users' comments were used to complete the testing results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
