It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

-- Steve Jobs, 1998

Fissel, Jim and Crea, Ron (1988): Applying Human Factors Principles to Complex Software Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 267-270.

Over the past four years, the User Systems Engineering Group and the Industrial Systems Division of Texas Instruments have worked jointly on designing and developing a computer aided software engineering (CASE) tool to enhance the productivity of process and control engineers. This paper discusses the analysis and design procedures employed during this project and how these procedures focused on customer needs. Specifically, the areas addressed are the multidisciplinary design team, the task analysis, minimal-constraint analysis, and prototype design and iteration.

Fissel, Jim and Cecala, Anthony (1988): Current Issues in Software Prototyping for Complex Systems. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 367-369.

For many years the User Systems Engineering Group at Texas Instruments has been using software user-interface prototypes as a primary tool for the design and development of user interfaces for complex systems. Our model of the prototyping life cycle is introduced and its benefits are discussed. Current issues in prototyping often center around the introduction of new prototyping tools such as HyperCard or Prototyper. Our discussions focuses on how these tools fit within the prototyping life cycle.
