[Sigia-l] NH UPA May Meeting: Sneak Peak at Morae 3 and UserVue Demo, 5/21/08, 6 PM

[Kyle Soucy]

~Apologies to those that have received this announcement more than  
once.~

Topic: Morae 3 and UserVue Demo!

Speaker: Shane Lovellette, Morae and UserVue Product Manager - Techsmith

When you think of TechSmith Morae, you probably think of testing  
things on a computer screen—like a software application or Web site.  
But what about testing the iPhone user's experience? Could Morae speed  
up and simplify a whole range of testing methods, from paper  
prototyping to in-depth interviews to focus groups? Could it enable  
unmoderated testing? The Morae development team is hard at work to  
support all these methods and approaches! In this session, we'll pull  
back the curtain to give you a peek at what's coming...and demonstrate  
specific use scenarios. We hope you can join us!

Shane Lovellette, the creator of Morae and UserVue, will be here from  
TechSmith to give us a demo and explain the benefits of using the new  
version of Morae and UserVue for conducting, recording, observing,  
analyzing, and presenting the results of in-person and remote user  
research tests.

When:
Wednesday, May 21st
Refreshments & Networking: 6-7:00 PM – Food & beverages will be  
provided.
Meeting: 7:00 PM – 8ish

Where:
Chordiant Software, Inc.
8 Commerce Drive
Bedford, NH 03110

Summary:
The demo will cover how to: collect local and remote test session  
data, observe test sessions in local and remote environments, and  
analyze test sessions with the advanced analytical capabilities of the  
new v. 3.0 of Morae Manager (not out yet!) and UserVue. We will learn  
about automated and aggregated usability metric analysis, graphing and  
reporting, as well as creating video highlight presentations.

For those of you who already use Morae and UserVue, Shane will answer  
any questions you have about the products and give us all a demo of  
the new version of Morae 3.
