French term

ergonomie de correction

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks multimedia ergonomics
This is from a course outline in multimedia ergonomics:


2. Intégrer l’ergonomie dans le cycle de vie
Ergonomie de conception
Ergonomie de correction
Le retour sur investissement

This appears to be modifications to an already developed interface to make it more ergonomic - but I can't seem to locate a term for it.

Discussion

Tamara Salvio (asker) Jun 3, 2008:
i.e., in this context it seems to relate to applying patches to make the software more 'ergonomic' or user-friendly (including for the disabled). Peut-être que je cherche la petite bête ici...
Tamara Salvio (asker) Jun 3, 2008:
Thanks to all so far... corrective ergonomics seems especially applicable with respect to physical working conditions and may very well apply here, but this has to do with software design (multimedia ergonomics), so I'm curious if there's not another term that more closely fits the context.
