Human Factors Engineering. Part 1. Test Procedures

Abstract

The material in this TOP is intended to be used for the Human Factors Engineering (HFE) assessment of all types of materiel and systems tested by TECOM. Supplementary sources of guidance are indicated when required. TOP 1-2- 610 encompasses the HFE procedures for the testing of design, functional performance, and environmental considerations for the major test functions (operability, maintainability, transportability, portability/usability, erectability, and habitability) applicable to the HFE assessment. This TOP contains two parts: Part I, Test Procedures and Part II, HEDGE. Part I, Test Procedures, provides guidance on how to plan and conduct an HFE test. Part I includes specific test procedures for measurement and assessment of environmental, design, and performance characteristics of test items and sample data collection forms such as checklists, questionnaire/interview forms, and other data collection forms. Part II, the Human Factors Engineering Data Guide for Evaluation (HEDGE) provides planning guidance concerning what to test. HEDGE includes guidance on classification of the test item, identification of applicable test functions, test conditions, performance tasks, and detailed design criteria.
