Usability and EC Directive 90/270

Usability and EC Directive 90/270
Usability and EC Directive 90/270
Usability is in danger of becoming simply another buzz word. Usability must be translated into a set of working principles which can be incorporated into the design and implementation of computer systems. This would require objectives for usability to be set. In its current form EC Directive 90/270 addresses minimum requirements necessary to meet such objectives. However, it does not yet provide details concerning how these requirements can be met, and potential techniques for this purpose are discussed in this paper. Responsibility for usability should not rest solely with designers, but must be shared between employers who purchase and install systems, designers, manufacturers and end users.

Abstract

Usability is in danger of becoming simply another buzz word. Usability must be translated into a set of working principles which can be incorporated into the design and implementation of computer systems. This would require objectives for usability to be set. In its current form EC Directive 90/270 addresses minimum requirements necessary to meet such objectives. However, it does not yet provide details concerning how these requirements can be met, and potential techniques for this purpose are discussed in this paper. Responsibility for usability should not rest solely with designers, but must be shared between employers who purchase and install systems, designers, manufacturers and end users.
