The ease with which a user interface can be navigated strongly contributes to its usability. In this paper we describe preliminary results of a project aimed at making the evaluation of user interfaces from this perspective more routine. We have designed a system to carry out an autonomous, exploratory navigation through the graphical user interface of interactive, off-the-shelf software applications. The system is not a robust tool, but rather a proof of concept that can exhibit interesting behaviors. The traversal process generates a representation of the connectivity of the user interface, as well as navigational paths to specific commands. The reasoning component of the system is based on the ACT-R architecture, while the perceptual and motor components of the system are built on top of the SegMan perception/action substrate. We present the design of the system and its use in exploring a simple user interface.
