Abstract

This paper summarizes research work conducted on the design and assessment of a set of usability dimensions called ' ergonomic criteria '. It also provides a detailed description of each of the individual criteria. The paper then mentions the inherent limitations of the method, discusses the notion of ergonomic quality , the differences in perspective compared to empirical testing, and identifies the potential users of the method.Finally,the paper stresses the limitations in the current state of development of the method and identifies research issues for further improving the method.
