TechSmith's Morae software provides features and affordability, that can bring collaborative user experience testing to a wider audience. In our testing, we found that this Web page usability-testing platform can help collect valuable data concerning how easily users can — or can't — navigate your site. TechSmith's approach to usability testing heavily uses the company's experience with the screen recording and capture methods found in its popular Snaglt and Camtasia products. On the downside, Morae could do more to help analyze the data once it is captured. Morae comprises three components: Morae Recorder, which collects test data; Morae Remote Viewer, which observes and annotates test data in real time over a network; and Morae Manager, which analyzes captured data and assembles relevant pieces into a presentation.
