London: Head to head - Usability testing software (Thursday, 20 October)
Speakers: Ben Whattam and Annemarie van Egmond from Foolproof, and Bill Budenberg from Tracksys.
Have you been thinking about investing in an all-digital solution for usability testing? Something that would speed up the process of capturing the "good bits", doing the analysis and creating a report?
Recently, Techsmith's Morae and Noldus's The Observer have both had upgrades. So we asked them to come to tell us about how these products might benefit usability practitioners. Ben Whattam and Annemarie van Egmond from Foolproof will tell us about their experience of Morae, and Bill Budenberg from Tracksys will tell us about the Observer.
After brief presentations, the rest of the meeting time will be assigned for demonstrations and discussion. You'll be able to see the equipment and ask them about it straight away.
Date: Thursday, 20 October
Time: 6.30pm for 6.45pm ,followed by drinks and networking at 8:00
Venue: MSN, Microsoft House, 10 Great Pulteney Street, London W1R 3DG map
