Resumen

There are several works exploring the different ways in which a user can input a date, as it is a very common operation on many websites, but the number of papers that cover this topic on mobile devices is very limited. In this paper several alternatives are considered, studied using Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection Rules (GOMS), and tested in an online experiment with hundreds of users using these kinds of devices, to see how each one of them performs. The results show that the drop-down menu outperforms the others, which were more novel to the users, in completion time, user satisfaction and the number of errors committed.
