Abstract
Behavioral experiments are currently the primary method of assessing the human factors of end user systems. Such experiments, however, are time consuming and sometimes come too late in the development cycle to influence ease of use. Analytic tools, which involve an abstract representation of a user interface and some manipulation of that representation to predict ease of use, are potentially faster. They can also be more intellectually satisfying. This paper gives examples of some analytic tools currently being developed and discusses the motivation and state of the art of such tools.
