Announcement of Public Meeting of the Industry Usability
Reporting Project (IUSR)
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Third Workshop of the Industry Usability Reporting Project
will be held as a forum for introducing a newly developed format for
reporting usability testing results and for explaining the requirements
for participating in an eighteen-month pilot testing of this format.
Industry partners are invited to join this effort to standardize the
method by which software usability reports are generated. The goal of
the on-going effort is to develop a Common Usability Format (CIF),
which, if used for exchanging information between software vendors and
software consumer organizations, will have positive impacts on the
Total Cost of Ownership of software. More information about the IUSR
Project can be obtained at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/div894/vvrg/iusr.
Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 272 et seq., the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) cooperates with industry to accelerate
the development of technologies that allow intuitive, efficient access,
manipulation and exchange of complex information by facilitating the
creation of measurement methods and standards.
