• Authors: Pedro M. Fernandes, Manuel Lopes, Rui Prada
• Abstract summary: We propose an agent based approach for automatic UX testing. We develop agents with basic problem solving skills and a core affect model. Although this research is still at a primordial state, we believe the results here make a strong case for the use of intelligent agents.

• Abstract: The automation of functional testing in software has allowed developers to continuously check for negative impacts on functionality throughout the iterative phases of development. This is not the case for User eXperience (UX), which has hitherto relied almost exclusively on testing with real users. User testing is a slow endeavour that can become a bottleneck for development of interactive systems. To address this problem, we here propose an agent based approach for automatic UX testing. We develop agents with basic problem solving skills and a core affect model, allowing us to model an artificial affective state as they traverse different levels of a game. Although this research is still at a primordial state, we believe the results here presented make a strong case for the use of intelligent agents endowed with affective computing models for automating UX testing.

  We tackle the challenge of developing proactive agents capable of anticipating and initiating tasks without explicit human instructions. First, we collect real-world human activities to generate proactive task predictions. These predictions are labeled by human annotators as either accepted or rejected. The labeled data is used to train a reward model that simulates human judgment.
