Silverback Helps Usability Testing

Posted August 22, 2008

So today I downloaded Silverback because I noticed it's finally available, and wow am I impressed! Great work guys. This is going to be perfect for my upcoming usability testing on Viviti.

Silverback

I love the gorilla theme and the beautiful vector gorilla illustration, which I'm assuming was designed by Paul Annett over at Clearleft, but please somebody comment and correct me if I'm wrong.

If you have an Apple, and need to record somebody using a web application for any reason, download the free trial of Silverback today and get on it! The retail version will cost $50, but in my opinion it's worth it. What do you think of Silverback?

Although I don't have a Mac, after checking out some of the examples on the Silverback site, I gotta say it looks pretty sweet. Is there anything like this available for Windows or even Linux? I know there are tons of screen recording programs, but with this type of functionality and simplicity.

Thanks for the post :)
