Abstract:

This report contains guidelines for conducting, analyzing, and reporting HFE tests according to the specifications of DI-H-1334A recently republished as DI-H-7058. This report was developed for contractor HFE personnel, contract monitors, and program managers. Chapter 2 presents guidelines for HFE personnel on how to conduct HFE tests according to DI-H-1334A requirements. Chapters 3 and 4 are detailed examples of HFE test reports of systems in the Experimental Prototype and Advanced Development Prototype stages of development, respectively. These sample test reports illustrate the contents and level of detail required in DI-H-1334A test reports. Chapter 5 describes how the data collected in HFE tests can be used to increase overall system reliability and effectiveness, when to perform the HFE tests during materiel system development, and how to minimize problems that can occur in HFE tests.
