The objective of the HFES 200 standard is to provide design requirements and recommendations that will lead to usability benefits such as increased learnability and ease of use of software. The HFES 200 Software User Interface standard consists of four parts: -
HFES 200.1: Introduction -
HFES 200.2: Accessibility -
HFES 200.3: Interaction Techniques -
HFES 200.4: Voice Input/Output and Telephony The recommendations in HFES 200 Part 2 focus on features and functions of computer operating systems, drivers, application services, other software layers upon which applications depend, and applications, that increase the accessibility of applications for users with disabilities. Hardware is not specifically addressed by any recommendations; however, various hardware assistive devices may exploit recommended functions that are provided by operations system and application software. The recommendations in HFES 200 Part 3 address each of the interaction techniques (also known as dialogue techniques) listed above. In menu dialogues, the dialogue system presents one or more groups of options to the user, the user chooses one or more options, and the computer executes the process denoted by the selected option or options. In command dialogues, users input (by recall) either complete or abbreviated command phrases as required by the command language syntax, and the computer performs the actions associated with the commands and their parameters. The recommendations in HFES 200 Part 4 address human-computer interaction that is mediated by voice input and output. The scope of this Part includes computer system office applications (e.g., word processing) that utilize voice input/output, interactive voice response (IVR) applications (which are usually implemented in telephony environments), and other voice input/output computer and telephony applications. The objective of the design recommendations in Part 4 is to improve the usability of applications that utilize voice input and output. The ultimate beneficiaries of HFES 200 are the end users of software. It was the needs of these users that motivated the recommendations in HFES 200. The application of this standard is intended to provide user interfaces that are more usable, accessible, and consistent and that enable greater productivity and satisfaction. |
