Evaluation of a methodology for Human Factors based Product Requirements Specifications | ||
| Duration: | 3 years (1987-1990) | |
| Funding body: | NAB Research Initiative | |
| Project effort: | 3 person years | |
| Grant value: | £60,000 | |
| Status: | Principal investigator (upto end 1988) | |
| The aim of this project was to develop a technique for testing whether products really were more useful as a result of applying the User Skills Task Match methodology. A series of studies were undertaken with products that resulted from non-USTM specifications, the problems found were then matched to the Human factors embodied in USTM. This result was a technique called SURVE developed by Mark Kirby. After the project concluded Mark developed the technique further through a series of longitudinal studies. | ||
