Finally Silverback has been rolled out. The guys from clearleft have created a down-to-earth usability testing software that helps you to do frictionless usability tests. You don’t have to rely on a huge stack of recording equipment anymore. All you need is Mac.
Just the stuff you need
Basically the software is pretty simple. You are able to create projects and record multiple people per project. Each session can be exported easily into a high quality Quicktime movie that displays the recorded screen, the captured mouse clicks and a small frame on the lower right showing the recorded video input from your iSight.
Perfect Mac-Integration
Silverback is integrated nicely with the Mac Hard- and Software.
- It uses the built-in iSight Camera and microphone to record Video and Audio
- You can control a testing session with your Apple Remote Control
- Special key presses are also recorded and displayed in the output
Nice little helper
Silverback seems like a good companion to challenge, strengthen and approve your designs and prototypes without too much effort. And by the way its website comes up with nice and nerdy parallax effect. Well done!
