This paper reviews the theory and modeling supporting the practice of HCI, development life cycles and activities, and much of the practice that constitutes “usability engineering”. Expand

Human-computer interface development: concepts and systems for its management

H. Hartson, D. Hix
Computer Science
CSUR
1 March 1989

Human-computer interface management, from a computer science viewpoint, focuses on the process of developing quality human-computer interfaces, including their representation, design, implementation, execution, evaluation, and maintenance. Expand

Temporal Aspects of Tasks in the User Action Notation

H. Hartson, P. Gray
Computer Science

Remote evaluation for post-deployment usability improvement

H. Hartson, José C. Castillo
Computer Science
AVI '98
24 May 1998

The usual kinds of alpha and beta testing do not qualify as formative usability evaluation because they do not yield detailed data observed during usage and associated closely with specific task performance. Expand
