MUSE is a method developed specifically to extend the scope of human factors contributions beyond late evaluation and thus increase their effectivness and uptake. This is accomplished by making inputs more explicit, early and continuous throughout the system development process. Since MUSE's scope spans user requirements to user interface design, it supports active human factors involvement in both design specification and evaluation. MUSE defines how, what and when particular human factor concerns should be addressed. It also specifies the procedures, notations, and documentation involved. This book will be essential reading for all involved with systems development, whether from the HCI or software engineering communities, and can be used as well for course accompaniment.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This extrapolation of a structured human factors method may mark a watershed in usability engineering approaches to design." John F. Meech and Raymond Devlin, Ergonomics
Book Description
MUSE is one of the pioneering methods for Usability Engineering. It provides an environment in which human factors contributions can realise their full potential in systems development. Its methods describe how design errors can be avoided, rectified, or identified. It is the best developed and most complete structured human factors method to date.This book reviews the motivation for developing MUSE, and provides readers with a manual for applying the method. It will be essential reading for all systems developers, whether from the HCI or software engineering commun ities, and can be used for course accompaniment.
