Abstract

The evaluation of notification systems is rare in critical systems. The only available experiences are based on empirical data on costly simulated environments and the subjective follow-up of some guidebooks probed by the experience. In case of absence of performance requirements, critical parameters can provide quantitative measures that may be used to determine the overall usability of interfaces that continuously present precious information (id est. Notification Systems) in Avionics (NSA) and should be validated before use to improve the confidence level in the measurement unit. In this paper, we introduce a set of critical parameters that could be used for usability evaluation of NSA's interfaces. A process for a formal validation is described and results of the applicability of these parameters to the real NSA interface of A400M's power plant are presented.
