This paper highlights the current literatures in usability studies, performance metrics, self-reported metrics and hierarchical agglomerative clustering algorithms. A literature review is done in these three areas of studies to find a research gap that can be explored further. The paper will then propose a research methodology to study comparatively feature selection based on performance and self-reported usability data. This paper will highlight methods used to compare the feasibility and performance of hierarchical agglomerative clustering algorithms on both performance and self-reported data. The results of the experiment will then be presented and discussed before proceeding to the conclusion and future works of this study.
