Software OT&E Guidelines. Volume 4. Software Operator-Machine Interface Evaluator's Handbook

Abstract

The Software OT&E Guidelines is a set of handbooks prepared by the Computer/Support Systems Division of the Test and Evaluation Directorate of the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center (AFTEC) for use in the operational test and evaluation (OT&E) of software. Volumes in the set include: (1) Software Test Manager's Handbook (AFTECP 800-1); (2) Handbook for the Deputy for Software Evaluation (AFTECP 800-2); (3) Software Maintainability Evaluator's Handbook (AFTECP 800-3); (4) Software Operator-Machine Interface Evaluator's Handbook (AFTECP 800-4); and (5) Software Support Facility Evaluation Tools User's Handbook (AFTECP 800-5). The Software Operator-Machine Interface Evaluator's Handbook was prepared as a guide to the evaluator participating in AFTEC's software operator-machine interface evaluation. This evaluation methodology provides a standardized approach to determine the adequacy of that part of software design/implementation which affects interaction between a computer-driven system and its operator. The handbook includes the characteristics by which the interface is rated, as well as explanations, examples, and definitions.
