This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today.

There are a couple of usability testing tools that match our preferred ‘guerrilla’ approach. Eye-tracking has long been a useful technique when designing compelling user interfaces, however the equipment and software associated with it is expensive and typically requires the use of specialist firms. Crazy Egg is a cheaper, software-only solution that produces heat maps based on mouse movement. This movement has a strong correlation with gaze, and can be used as a reasonable approximation. Silverback captures not only the screen during a test, but also records the face and voice of the user. This can be invaluable in sharing rich test experiences with the wider development team.
