Testing integrated circuits from an ergonomic point of view: the expert system PESTICIDE
Résumé
Ergonomics concern not only office automation problems, but also the automation of workstations for which a high degree of technicality is required. As an example, the particular case of an expert system for debugging integrated circuits using electron microscopy allows the identification of three levels of ergonomic problems, which are related to: the design of expert systems in general; the complexity of the domain (the debugging of integrated circuits and the use of electron microscopy); and the problems encountered by the non-specialist who has to use an unfamiliar system (interfacing problems).
