Clarke, Lesley (1991): The Use of Scenarios by User Interface Designers. In: Diaper, Dan and Hammond, Nick (eds.) Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VI August 20-23, 1991, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. pp. 103-115.

There are many factors which drive software design. This paper focuses on the use of scenarios by designers and examines the effect this has on the design process. Scenarios are examples of user interactions with systems which are used to structure and communicate information about how a design might be used in the real world. The use of scenarios was examined in a study of designers in a commercial setting engaged in the design of an air traffic control system. The findings are used to make recommendations about how design should be done and also about the tools required to support design.
