AS ISO/IEC 25066:2019 PDF

The objective of this Standard is to describe the Common Industry Format (CIF) for reporting usability evaluations. It provides a classification of evaluation approaches and the specifications for the content items (content elements) to be included in an evaluation report based on the selected evaluation approach(es).

This International Standard provides a framework and consistent terminology for reporting the evaluation of an interactive system. It is intended to assist usability specialists and developers in documenting and communicating usability-related information as part of the system development lifecycle.

The Common Industry Format (CIF) for Usability family of International Standards is described in ISO/IEC TR 25060 and is part of the SQuaRE (Systems and software Quality Requirements and Evaluation) series of standards on systems and software product quality requirements and evaluation (ISO/IEC 250001), ISO/IEC 25001, ISO/IEC 250212), ISO/IEC 250233), ISO/IEC 25040, ISO/IEC 25041 and ISO/IEC 25051).

The CIF family of standards uses definitions that are consistent with the ISO 9241 series of standards (Ergonomics of human-system interaction), as this is the terminology that is normally used for this subject matter. In some cases, these definitions differ from those in ISO/IEC 25000.
