Abstract

Usability engineering and usability testing are concepts that continue to\nevolve. Interesting research studies and new ideas come up every now and then.\nThis paper tests the hypothesis of using an EDA based physiological\nmeasurements as a usability testing tool by considering three measures which\nare observers opinions, self reported data and EDA based physiological sensor\ndata. These data were analyzed comparatively and statistically. It concludes by\ndiscussing the findings that has been obtained from those subjective and\nobjective measures, which partially supports the hypothesis.\n
