[WG-ULX] Agenda for today's call

[Valeska O'Leary]

It's time to think about putting the flow (screens) to test. I wanted to
share a few user friendly tools we could use. Once we select the tool, I can
develop a plan, select the participants, testing environment, and conduct
the sessions.

*Silverback*  (I owe a license) is a usability testing software that allows
startups to record both the screen as well as the test participant's facial
reactions and voice. Startups follow a subject's eyes and cursor movements
while also controlling the service via an Apple remote. Once a subject's
session is over, the startup can export the recording to a basic Quicktime
video. The service offers a 30 day trial and costs $50 dollars flat rate
after that. While it's primarily meant to test site design, it can also
double as a great screen capture software for quick demos.

*Feedback Army* rallies its own community of testers to do your bidding. For
$10 dollars you get 10 people to browse your site and offer feedback.

*UserTesting* offers on-demand testers priced at $29 dollars per person. For
each test session you receive a recorded video of your tester's actions as
well as a list of detailed notes. Some of the companies who've tested with
UserTesting include Twitter and CNN Money.

*Usabilla* tests a web page at any stage in the design process. Simply
upload the URL or a picture from your hard drive, choose from predefined
test questions or create your own, and invite people to participate in the
study by emailing them a link, embedding a widget in your website, or simply
pressing the Twitter or Facebook button. Once you’ve done that, sit back and
wait for the data to start pouring in. Usabilla tracks where participants
click on your web page, recording the results of different questions in
different colors. Participants can also add notes to clicks on the page,
which you can view easily.

On a side note, I came across this discussion about "Remember me" -- make
sure to read the comments.
