Software, Tools, Or Techniques For UI Review?

Posted by kdawson on from the visual-spider dept.

Comatose51 writes "Does the Slashdot crowd know of any software, tools, or even techniques for reviewing the UI of an application? Right now at our company this is a long and arduous task of looking at slide after slide of pages and menus from our UI, and taking notes and arguing over what should go where or how the UI elements should behave and interact with the user. It takes many, many hours to do this and with all our UI developers involved, it adds up. This has to be a common and recurring problem so there must be a better way to do this. If there is open source software to help, great, but any helpful suggestion would be appreciated."

    most CEOs are not your typical user

    Depends on the type of application. What if it's for fiddling your stock options or keeping track of your golf scores?
