# Usability Evaluation Protocol ## Mapping of Standard Requirements to Document Sections | IEC 62366-1:2015 Section | Title | Document Section | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | | 4.2 | Usability Engineering File | (all) | | 4.3 | Tailoring of the Usability Engineering effort | (all) | ## 1. User Group and Environment > Describe the user group here, e.g., physicians with experience in a certain field. > Also, describe the environment in which the user test is being conducted. Obviously, both the user group and > environment should match whatever you described in your Intended Use. So, if your app is intended to be used > by emergency physicians in a brightly-lit hospital environment, you should also have these people do the > usability test in a similar environment. ## 2. Preparation > Describe whether you prepare users in any way. Again, this should be based on the use context in which your > users will be using your device in real life. So, if people typically carefully read the user manual before > (not sure in which parallel universe that happens), you can give them the manual and some time to study > it. More realistically, you'll probably test how users handle your device when they haven't read the manual. > If there are official training which are required before users can use your device, you should do this > training first, of course. ## 3. List of Tasks > This table lists the tasks you want your users to perform. It's kind of the master table which will be > copy-pasted for each user below - you'll be filling out the observations and hazards encountered by each > user. > As always, using a spreadsheet (e.g., Google Sheets) instead of a document is a very good idea here. | ID | Description | App State / Environment | Instructions | Acceptance Criteria | Observations | Hazards encountered | | --- | ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | | | | | | | | ## 4. Protocols > Copy-paste the table above for each user and fill it out during the test. Note down the names and ages (or > any other important characteristics) per user. ### User 1 (Name, Age) | ID | Description | App State / Environment | Instructions | Acceptance Criteria | Observations | Hazards encountered | | --- | ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | | | | | | | | ### User 2 (Name, Age) | ID | Description | App State / Environment | Instructions | Acceptance Criteria | Observations | Hazards encountered | | --- | ----------- | ----------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | | | | | | | | |
