Webalyt: Implemetation of architecture for capturing web user behaviours with feedback propagation

Abstract

In the world of the Internet where people are consuming web-content, more and more emphasis is placed on user friendliness of web-pages. It means increasing web-page usability and better user-experience. Increasing quality of userexperience (UX) is the task of UX developers. They should always base their work on the best practices and research. Each webpage has its own specificity and it leads to new challenges for the UX developers. One of the biggest issues is the problematic view of a web-page on specific devices with specific web-browser versions. Tools for capturing user behaviour are available, but there are issues with data ownership and with the development of new functionality. Actually, there are no free easily scalable and extendable products for user data gathering on the market. In this paper, implementation of architecture (based on Spring Boot microservices) for capturing web user behaviours with feedback propagation is introduced. Architecture implementation is easily scalable and extendable. All of the components are described in detail. At the end of this paper, summary and limitation of created architecture is discussed. Webalyt is helpful for understanding user behaviour and improving user-experience.

“…The heuristic method aims to discover the best form of human-computer interaction. In this field, Nielsen [21,22] and other proposals useful only for specific domains [23][24][25][26] stand out. These proposals seek to alert existing problems to avoid errors [27].…”
