Silverback for Usability Testing

While I was perusing Garret Dimon’s blog I came across his article about a new product- Silverback, for usability testing. 

I went to the website and downloaded the free 30 day trial, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was as simple to use as Garrett had described. Silverback allows you to capture screen activity quickly and easily, while using your isight camera to capture the users reactions. There are no fancy edit features or unnecessary bells and whistles, but what you do get is an easy setup- turn it on and hit “new project” and you are ready to go, and a super sleek user interface.

Silverback has been developed specifically for Mac users, which holds its own drawbacks, but all in all, I give Silverback a big high five!
