Usability evaluation methods have become critical in the Web domain to ensure the success of Web applications. Aim: Since a large number of proposals have been presented during the last few years, a question arises: Which usability evaluation methods have proven to be the most effective in the Web domain? Method: This paper presents a systematic review that was motivated by previous results obtained from a systematic mapping study in the Web usability evaluation field. Results: A total of 18 studies were selected from an initial set of 206 in order to extract, code, and synthesize empirical data concerning the effectiveness of usability evaluation methods for the Web. Conclusions: We detected a need of more empirical studies and more standardized effectiveness measures for comparing usability evaluation methods. Our results suggest several evaluation methods which may be useful in allowing researchers and practitioners to perform effective Web usability evaluations.
