Abstract

With the technology of our time growing sophisticated everyday, softwares advance rapidly in accordance. Reflecting this trend, researches on Usability of S/W GUI(Graphical User Interface) is actively taking place. However, despite the active researches on such topic, Usability study of S/W GUI for weapon system remains insufficient. For such reason, this paper intends to focus on drawing evaluation factors as well as priority of design factors for Usability of S/W GUI for weapon system. For an accurate and reliable result, Usability evaluation attributes & design factors were assessed by professionals. Moreover, by incorporating AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) and Matrix analysis, each evaluation attributes' level of importance and relation between design factors & usability attributes were assessed to draw final design priority. As a result, the importance of Informativity, Accessibility, and Visibility were derived as 0.127, 0.121, 0.108, and selected to be the foremost priority for evaluating. This research could be utilized as foundation for usability evaluation of S/W GUI on weapon system.

기술이 고도화, 다양화되면서 소프트웨어의 발전이 급격하게 이루어지고 있다. 이에 따라 소프트웨어 GUI (Graphical User Interface)의 사용성(Usability)에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행 중이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 무기체계 소프트웨어는 GUI의 사용성에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 무기체계 소프트웨어 GUI에 대한 사용성 평가 항목을 도출하고 설계 우선순위를 도출하였다. 사용성 평가 항목을 도출하기 위해 전문가 평가를 통해 사용성 평가에 대한 기준요소(Attributes)와 설계요소(Design factors)를 선정하였다. 또한 AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process)와 매트릭스(matrix) 분석을 이용하여 각각 기준요소의 상대적 중요도와 기준요소와 설계요소간 연관성을 파악하여 최종적으로 설계 우선순위를 도출하였다. 그 결과, 정보제공성(Informativity)과 정보접근성(Accessibility), 가시성(Visibility)의 중요도가 0.127, 0.121, 0.108로 도출됨에 따라 기타 요소에 비해 우선적으로 평가하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 무기체계 소프트웨어 GUI의 사용성 평가에 대한 기반 연구로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
