先验功效分析在科学界越来越受欢迎，但HFE研究人员尚未广泛讨论这种做法。鉴于进行此类分析的复杂性，软件工具必不可少。本文回顾了功效分析软件工具的产生和现状，并以用户为中心的设计理念作为分析的透镜，考察了研究者的需求与功效分析工具特性之间的关系。围绕用户的愿望和需求，我们提出了一个决策辅助过程，以帮助研究人员确定适当的电源分析工具。该过程包括五个以用户为中心的考虑因素-两个功能标准（软件输入;软件输出）和三个可用性原则（易学性;易用性;可访问性）-这些因素被组织成一个工作流。这些标准和技巧被转化为研究人员在决策过程中应该经历的问题。我们用三个示例场景说明了决策辅助过程的使用，并为研究人员提出了建议。
A priori power analyses have become increasingly popular in scientific communities, but the practice has not been widely discussed by HFE researchers. Given the complexity of conducting such analyses, software tools are essential. We review the emergence and current state of power analysis software tools, and use the concept of User-Centered Design as an analytical lens for examining the relationship between researchers’ needs and power analysis tools’ characteristics. Centering on users’ wants and needs, we propose a decision-aiding process to assist researchers in identifying appropriate power analysis tools. This process consists of five user-centered considerations – two functional criteria (software input; software output) and three usability heuristics (learnability; ease of use; accessibility) – which are organized into a workflow. These criteria and heuristics are translated into questions that researchers should go through during the decision process. We illustrate use of the decision-aiding process with three example scenarios and lay out implications for researchers.
