ABSTRACT
The paper concerns extension of IT usability studies with automatic analysis of the emotional state of a user. Affect recognition methods and emotion representation models are reviewed and evaluated for applicability in usability testing procedures. Accuracy of emotion recognition, susceptibility to disturbances, independence on human will and interference with usability testing procedures are the criteria, that were identified and addressed in this paper. A study of a usability evaluation case was also performed to spot realistic challenges. As a result, a number of concerns were identified, providing a list of pros and cons for affect acquisition applied in usability testing context.
