Systems and software engineering - Systems and software product Quality Requirements and Evaluation (SQuaRE) - Common Industry Format (CIF) for usability: Context of use description (ISO/IEC 25063:2014)
ISO/IEC 25063:2014 describes the Common Industry Format (CIF) for context of use descriptions and specifies the contents of both high-level and detailed descriptions of the context of use for an existing, intended, implemented or deployed system. A context-of-use description includes information about the users and other stakeholder groups, the characteristics of each user group, the goals of the users, the tasks of the users, and the environment(s) in which the system is used.
The context of use description is applicable to software and hardware systems, products or services (excluding generic products, such as a display screen or keyboard). It is important to gather and analyse information on the current context in order to understand and then describe the context that will apply in the future system. The context of use description provides a collection of data relevant for analysis, specification, design and evaluation of an interactive system from the perspective of the various user groups and other stakeholders.

Ingénierie des systèmes et du logiciel - Exigences de qualité et évaluation des systèmes et du logiciel (SQuaRE) - Format industriel commun (CIF) pour l'utilisabilité: Description du contexte d'utilisation (ISO/IEC 25063:2014)
L'ISO/IEC 25063:2014 spécifie les contenus des descriptions - à la fois générales et détaillées - du contexte d'utilisation d'un système, produit ou service existant, conçu ou mis en ?uvre.
La description du contexte d'utilisation s'applique aux systèmes, produits ou services des logiciels et matériels (à l'exception des produits génériques, tels qu'un écran d'affichage ou clavier). La description du contexte d'utilisation est destinée à être utilisée dans le cadre de documents relatifs au niveau système, dérivés des processus de développement tels que ceux figurant dans l'ISO 9241‑210 et dans les normes de procédés/processus de l'ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7.
L'ISO/IEC 25063:2014 n'impose aucun type de méthode, cycle de vie, ni procédé/processus.
L'élément d'information d'un contexte d'utilisation peut être intégré dans tous les types de modèles de processus.
NOTE Afin d'établir des modèles de processus, l'ISO/IEC/TR 24774[16] et l'ISO/IEC 15504‑2[9] spécifient respectivement les exigences de format et de conformité applicables aux modèles de procédés/processus. En outre, l'ISO/IEC 15289[8] définit les types et le contenu des éléments d'information élaborés et utilisés dans les modèles de processus dans le cadre de la gestion du cycle de vie du système et du logiciel. L'ISO/IEC 15504‑5[10] et l'ISO/IEC 15504‑6[11] définissent les produits fabriqués, y compris les éléments d'information, à des fins d'évaluation de la capacité des procédés (ou processus). Les modèles de processus et les éléments d'information associés à la conception centrée sur l'opérateur humain des systèmes interactifs sont contenus respectivement dans l'ISO/TR 18529[13] et dans l'ISO/TS 18152[12].
L'ISO/IEC 25063:2014 décrit également la finalité de l'utilisation des descriptions du contexte d'utilisation et identifie les utilisateurs cibles des descriptions du contexte d'utilisation.
Si l'ISO/IEC 25063:2014 spécifie les éléments de contenu nécessaires à un descriptif de contexte d'utilisation, elle n'impose cependant aucune structure ni présentation particulières concernant la documentation du contexte d'utilisation.

Standard ISO/IEC 25063:2014 opisuje skupni industrijski format (CIF) za opise kontekstov uporabe ter določa visokonivojske in podrobne opise konteksta uporabe za obstoječi, predvideni ali uvedeni sistem oziroma sistem v uporabi. Opis konteksta uporabe vključuje informacije o uporabnikih in drugih skupinah interesnih strani, lastnostih posamezne skupine uporabnikov, ciljih uporabnikov, nalogah uporabnikov in okoljih, v katerih se sistem uporablja.
Opis konteksta uporabe se uporablja za sisteme programske in strojne opreme, izdelke ali storitve, vendar ne za izdelke za splošno uporabo, kot so zasloni ali tipkovnice. Za razumevanje in opis konteksta, ki se bo uporabljal v prihodnjem sistemu, je treba zbirati in analizirati informacije o trenutnem kontekstu. Opis konteksta uporabe podaja zbirko podatkov za analizo, specifikacijo, načrt in vrednotenje interaktivnega sistema z vidika različnih skupin uporabnikov in drugih interesnih strani.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 25063 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 7, Software and systems engineering, in collaboration with Technical Committee
ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 4, Ergonomics of human-system interaction.

Introduction
[4]
The human-centred design approach of ISO 9241-210 is well established and focuses specifically
on making systems usable. Usability can be achieved by applying human-centred design and testing
throughout the life cycle. In order to enable a human-centred approach to be adopted, it is important
that all the relevant types of information related to usability (information items) are identified and
communicated. This identification and communication enables the usability of a system to be designed
and tested.
This International Standard provides a framework and consistent terminology for describing the context
of use of an interactive system. It is intended to assist developers in documenting and communicating
usability-related information through the system development life cycle.
The Common Industry Format (CIF) for Usability family of International Standards is described in
[19] [17]
ISO/IEC TR 25060 and is part of the SQuaRE series (ISO/IEC 25000 to ISO/IEC 25099) of standards
on systems and software product quality requirements and evaluation.
The CIF family of standards uses definitions that are consistent with the ISO 9241 series of standards
(Ergonomics of human system interaction), as this is the terminology that is normally used for this
subject matter.
CIF standards are planned for the following information item
