Description:
The Common Industry Format (CIF) is a standard format for reporting the results
of summative usability testing.
The zip file in this directory is a set of documents that
explains the details of the CIF. There are appendices
that show examples, define terms, and provide information for completing a CIF report.
There is also a Word97 template of the CIF; most usability folks who use the CIF find
this the easiest way to fill in the required information.
When to use the CIF:
After you have completed you testing with users, you will report the results of your
test using the CIF.
Requirements:
Submit the completed CIF reports to: cifter@nist.gov
For more information:
The CIF was developed under the auspices of the NIST
Industry USability Reporting (IUSR)
project.
