Usability testing on the cheap

elearningpost : Usability testing on the cheap

Elearningpost has some great tips for economical usability testing. The UserFly site is particularly interesting:

A friend of mine asked me about doing usability testing on the cheap. Thought I'd share some apps and websites I have bookmarked.

* Userfly - This is a new service and could become the next big thing. It captures user sessions on video and overlays it with screen interactions.
* Silverback - Mac only app that uses the video cam on the mac to record user reactions and screen interactions. I use this frequently.
* Ethnio - Online recruitment for conducting usability studies, focus groups and surveys.
* Usertesting - Low cost usability testing. Captures user sessions on video.
