The software engineering community is in need of tools that can provide useful, affordable usability testing and evacuation of design concepts throughout the software system life-cycle. Rapid interface prototyping tools help develop software products for potential users, but they are unable to perform the needed usability testing. The Intelligent Interface Construction (IICON) Evaluator solves this problem for advanced software systems that are built using OSF/Motif and the X Window System. It provides a systematic means of collecting objective observations of the computer-human interaction dialogue of interest, an extensive database capability supporting all phases of the evaluation process, and an extensible set of analysis tools.
