Human Factors
Biometrics Integrated offers a wide range
of human factors engineering services to enhance the usability of
devices or software. Throughout the development process, a human factors
engineer can contribute to the user interface design based on inputs
from representative users. These inputs can guide design decisions such
as button layouts, display selections, and feature operations to
generate an interface that is intuitive and easy to use.
Our Human Factors Engineering Design Experiences and Capabilities:
User and task analyses
Important user characteristics and expectations can be identified, along
with key tasks to be supported by the device or software.
User interface requirements development
Requirements of end users can be documented early in the design process
and used to guide specification of the user interface.
User interface design
Alternatives for user inputs (pressing a button, moving a switch, etc.)
and system displays (LEDs, screen messages, etc.) can be evaluated to
select the options that best meet user needs.
User interface simulation
Early simulation of the user interface, using computer software or a
physical prototype, allows refinement of the user interface before
significant development effort is expended.
Usability testing
Observations of representative users interacting with a simulation or
prototype can reveal whether the user interface is intuitive and easy to
use or needs to be modified.
Expert evaluations
An evaluation focused on the user interface by a person with extensive
user-centered design experience can often reveal potential usability
issues that can be addressed in subsequent development activities.
Subjective audio quality testing
For devices that involve transmission or generation of speech signals,
it is often important to obtain subjective ratings of speech quality to
determine user acceptance of the device in the field.
Field trials
Collection of feedback from users who interact with a device in their
own home or work environment can reveal usability issues that are missed
in laboratory tests.
End user documentation
Principles of user interface design for devices can also be applied to
the documentation provided with the device.
Testing
Biometrics Integrated offers a wide range
of testing services to assure product quality. Biometrics Integrated Test
Process is flexible to meet the test requirements of stringently
regulated products (such as medical device testing) as well as the
requirements of less regulated products (such as consumer electronic
device testing). Services include development of test plans, software
unit and integration testing, functional testing, design verification
and validation testing. Our expertise includes testing in a variety of
product categories; including FDA regulated medical devices,
communications products, military electronics, and PC peripherals.
We have an on-site RF screen room and other specialized equipment that
allow us to provide EMC, ESD, and environmental testing. We can also
provide UL and FCC prescreening for your product to eliminate surprises
during compliance testing. When your design is ready, we can coordinate
all of the necessary compliance testing.
