Research shows that developers and designers alike use examples in their design process. However, the tools that developers and designers use are difficult to use because they provide few or no examples and require extensive reading and memorization. This study gave developers and designers a background questionnaire and asked them to design an interface for displaying and exploring user interface examples within a user interface design guidance system. Analysis of audio tape, screen layouts, and user and task profile data from the study provided a number of user interface requirements for systems that support the representation and use of user interface examples.
