IEEE ISO IEC P26514:2020 pdf download.Systems and software engineering一Design and development of information for users.
This clause presents the scope, purpose, organization, and candidate uses of this document.
This document supports the need of software users for consistent, complete, accurate, and usable information. It includes both approaches to standardization: a) process standards, which specify the way in which information products are to be developed; and b) information product standards, which specify the characteristics and functional requirements of the information for users.
This document covers the development process for designers and developers of information for users. It describes how to establish what information users need, how to determine the way in which that information should be presented, and how to prepare the information and make it available. It is not limited to the design and development stage of the life cycle, but includes information on design strategy and maintaining a design.
This document provides requirements for the structure, information content, and format of information for users.
This document may be helpful for developing the following types of information, although it does not cover all aspects of them:
— information for users of products other than software; multimedia systems using animation, video, and sound;
— computer-based training (CBT) packages and specialized course materials intended primarily for use in formal training programs;
— information produced for installers, computer operators, or system administrators who are not end users; maintenance information describing the internal operation of systems software;
— information for users incorporated into the user interface itself.
This document is applicable to information architects and developers, including a variety of specialists:
information architects who plan the structure and format of information products in a documentation set;
- usability specialists and business analysts who identify the tasks that the intended users can perform with the software;
those who develop and edit the written content of information for users; graphic designers with expertise in electronic media;
user interface designers and ergonomics experts working together to design the presentation of the information on the screen.
This document may also be consulted by those with other roles and interests in the process of developing information for users:
— managers of the software development process or the information development process;
— acquirers of information for users prepared by suppliers;
-usability testers, reviewers of information for users, subject-matter experts; developers of tools for creating information for users;
— human-factors experts who identify principles for making information for users more accessible and easily used.
This document is Intended for use in all types of organizations, whether or not a dedicated information development department is present, and may be used as a basis for local standards and procedures. Readers are assumed to have experience or knowledge of software development or information development processes.IEEE ISO IEC P26514 pdf download.
