Abstract

An electronic shopping cart is one of the key components of an E-commerce website. In designing the components of these websites, especially its shopping cart, there are several apparent and functional factors. One of the factors that can be affected is the ability to prevent the robot from running and detecting it from the human user of the website. Using Drag & Drop design, user behavior can be examined, and then, using the criteria extracted in this process distinguishes the human user from the robot user. In this study, seven criteria were first extracted from the relationship between the data and then for each user the amount of each criterion is calculated. Finally, the final percentage is calculated according to the values obtained for the criteria and is made available to the system or webmaster to React appropriately against the robot user.
