Common ground for critical shuttle and space station user interfaces: an independent verification and validation approach

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory (I-IFEZ) at the NASA Johnson Space Center is in the process of identifying an automated software interface checking tool to assess the dew to which space-related critical and high risk software system user interfaces meet objective human factors standards across each NASA program and project. A prototype tool has been identifkd, and usability testing is underway. Testing compares analysis time and similarity of results for the automated tool and for human-computer interface experts. The results of the evaluation will be included in the poster.
