I was doing some reading this week and found this article, "Credit-Crunch Usability: 10 ways to maximise your usability budget". The author, Phillip Hodgson, offers some great suggestions on how you can cut your budget but still deliver those great insights that only usability testing can garner.
From conducting remote testing to creating your own participant pool, see if you can take advantage of his advice and stay afloat on a shoestring budget.

AutoPilot delivers instructions, tasks, and surveys automatically during the test session.
So you could set up unmoderated testing at a public kiosk or a tradeshow booth and gather data without being there.
Or if you're flying solo, AutoPilot will free you to prompt, listen, and observe more carefully during the session. And it eliminates all that messy, wasted paper, too!
Check out this training video and get your testing on AutoPilot today!
