The majority of today's computing takes place on interactive systems that use a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Performance of these systems is unique in that "good performance" is a reflection of a user's perception. In this paper, we explain why this unique environment requires a new methodological approach. We describe a measurement/diagnostic tool currently under development and evaluate the feasibility of implementing such a tool under Windows NT. We then present several issues that must be resolved in order for Windows NT to become a popular research platform for this type of work.
