Abstract :
As interactive computing has developed, a more comprehensive design methodology is required to produce high-performance software. To achieve this goal, consideration of user performance must be included as an integrated part of the development process. An approach that allows a software engineer to integrate user performance as a design dimension in interactive software system design is presented. This approach is used to study the design of a text editor.<>
