Handbook of Human Factors Testing and Evaluation

ISBN-13: 9780805832907 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 568 str.

Opis

This handbook is designed to respond to the growing need for specific tools and methods for testing and evaluating human-system interfaces. One of the goals of this second edition is to expand and emphasize the application chapters, providing examples of human factors test and evaluation (HFTE) enterprises across a range of systems and environments. Coverage of the standard tools and techniques used in HFTE have been updated as well.

Recenzje

"The handbook is not a quick or easy read, nor should it be. Its breadth of coverage justifies its hefty length, and I expect to continue to use it much as I might a thorough reference book: as a memory refresher in some of the methods and techniques, and to expand my ideas from another's perspective on applications."
—Ergonomics in Design

"The handbook contains current information and focuses on the major methodologies and technologies of human factors T&E with sufficient depth to serve well as a textbook for an undergraduate or graduate-level course in test and evaluation. More significantly, the broad range of applications offers enough examples for a beginning practitioner to adapt to many other applications."
