An analysis of user interface design projects: information sources and constraints in design
Mathilde M. Bekker, Arnold P. O. S. Vermeeren · Interacting with Computers · 1996
To provide input for the development of user interface design support the authors distributed questionnaires to people involved in the development of user interfaces in The Netherlands. They studied the background and experience of designers of user interfaces, the contexts in which they worked, the design support they currently used and what new or improved design support they would need. The results indicated two areas that require further study: how to gather information about users and applications. When developing design support for these areas it might be useful to take into account the finding that designers work in a wide range of design practices, each with their own constraints on interface design practice.
