Human factors engineering involves the application of information about human behavior and characteristics in the design and testing of products, systems, and environments. A computing system's interface is developed on the basis of potential users' capabilities and limitations, the users' tasks, and the environment in which those tasks are performed. When human factors engineers work with users, subject-matter experts, and developers to design and test a system, they analyze and document users' tasks and requirements and develop prototype designs. Usability studies are conducted and user errors are analyzed to identify problems and develop recommendations for improving the human-computer interface.
人因工程学涉及将有关人类行为和特征的信息应用于产品、系统和环境的设计与测试中。计算系统的界面是根据潜在用户的能力和局限性、用户任务以及执行这些任务的环境来开发的。当人因工程学工程师与用户、主题专家和开发人员合作设计和测试系统时，他们会分析并记录用户任务和需求，并开发原型设计。进行可用性研究并分析用户错误，以识别问题并提出改进人机界面的建议。
