This book is concerned with the development of human factors
inputs to software design. The aim is to create products which
match the requirements and characteristics of users and which
offer usable user interfaces. The HUFIT project - Human Factors
in Information Technology - was carried out within the European
Strategic Programme for Research and Development in Information
Technology (ESPRIT) with the objective of enhancing the quality
of software design within the European Community. The variety of
activities undertaken to achieve this goal are reflected in this
book. It describes human factors knowledge and tools for
integration in information technology supplier organisations.
