User's Guide for the Test and Evaluation Sections of MIL-H-46855.
Abstract
Assistance is provided to Human Factors (HF) engineers in planning, scheduling, and performing HFE T/E in accordance with the requirements of MIL-H-46855. All appropriate aspects of the total HFE T/E process are indicated with emphasis being given to 33 HFE T/E techniques which may be used. Details of technique selection and use are included along with technique samples where appropriate. The emphasis of this guide (as compared to the Navy manager's guide--AD-A045 098) is placed on the HFE evaluator's task of performing the most cost effective total T/E effort. Both formal and technical T/E program requirements are indicated. Basic T/E considerations such as data inputs, level of detail, timing, and applications are detailed. Types of HFE T/E are indicated and a system for evaluating and categorizing techniques is presented. The techniques included are both automatic and manual; these are further divided into groups of direct, indirect, automatic recording, physiological, and simulation. A fold-out chart, which integrates much of the guide content into an HFE evaluator's decision tree, is provided and may be used as a checklist to assist him in his tasks.
