1. A method comprising:
at an electronic device comprising a processor:
obtaining, via a sensor, physiological data of a user during a period of time while the electronic device is in use, wherein the physiological data comprises images of an eye of the user;
determining a characteristic of an eye of the user during the period of time, wherein the characteristic of the eye of the user is determined based on the physiological data, wherein the characteristic of the eye comprises a pupil characteristic indicative of a user reaction to unexpected user interface activity, the pupil characteristic exhibited by a pupil of the eye during the period of time; and
identifying an unexpected user interface behavior occurring prior to the period of time based on the characteristic of the eye of the user during the period of time.
