We present here the usability assessment study of a medical web site dedicated to the Cataloguing and Indexing of French speaking Medical web Sites (CISMeF). We performed a usability inspection using heuristic evaluation and an empirical usability test using a portable lab. The results of the heuristic evaluation show usability flaws along guidance, prompting and legibility ergonomic criteria. The usability test confirms this result and gives some more hints about the severity rating of the problems. From these results, we draw up a set of recommendations for the re-engineering of the Human Computer Interface (HCI). We conclude on the necessity to integrate usability engineering early enough in the projects lifecycle.
我们在此展示一项针对一个致力于法语医学网站编目与索引（CISMeF）的医学网站的可用性评估研究。我们使用启发式评估进行了可用性检查，并使用便携式实验室进行了实证可用性测试。启发式评估的结果显示，在引导、提示和易读性等人体工程学标准方面存在可用性缺陷。可用性测试证实了这一结果，并对问题的严重程度评级给出了更多提示。基于这些结果，我们制定了一套关于重新设计人机界面（HCI）的建议。我们得出结论，有必要在项目生命周期中尽早融入可用性工程。
