The possibilities of ALICE experiment in measurements of particle correlations are estimated by computer simulations. A dedicated software has been created with the aim to study the influence of different e xperimental factors on the shape of correlation functions and with the intention to serve in the future for the analysis of real data. A scheme of correlation analysis is described shortly and some of the first results are presented. This analysis is being performed in the frame of ALICE “Physics Performance Report”.
