Task analysis for the investigation of human error in safety-critical software design: a convergent methods approach

Article Abstract:

The sources of error within a safety-critical software design task were examined using a number of convergent methods of task- and error-analysis which includes hierarchical task analysis, error log audit, error observation, work sample and laboratory experiment. Results revealed that the use of convergent methods approach illustrates the benefits and limitations of individual analysis methods and shows the advantages of combining methods to analyze complex problems.
