Introduction: Users of digital environments have specific characteristics that differ from their social context and the degree of usability of Information and Communication Technologies to access the most different informational platforms, in which such particularities must be considered to meet the informational needs of these individuals and provide a better experience in digital environments. A discipline that proposes to investigate aspects related to user experience in digital environments is User Experience (UX), and from the application of usability techniques it is possible to identify barriers that can affect user interaction. Objective: The present study aims to analyze the usability of Embrapa's e-Campo portal, based on Nielsen's heuristics. Methodology: The methodology adopted in this research is characterized as bibliographic, qualitative analysis and exploratory. Results: In the 10 steps identified, 10 usability problems were found, with the violation of heuristic 4 (Consistency and standards) being the most recurrent. Conclusions: Aspects related to usability were verified that can make it difficult to access the contents available on the portal. Thus, the relevance of the user in the context of studies in the area of Information Science is verified, so that the construction of more interactive systems can be proposed that allow a satisfactory user experience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
