Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of issues affecting the choice of usability evaluation strategies for highly interactive Direct Manipulation interfaces. It reports memory tests on novice users of MacDraw I which investigate the degree of reliance on the interface for cueing, and the sources of information, both within the interface and outside, that may be utilized. A study of the novice subjects' (verbalised) reasoning during experimental task-performance on MacDraw is then reported. Examples of subjects reasoning are used to illustrate the nature of Direct Manipulation evaluation. Issues affecting the selection and development of evaluation methods are then discussed.
