It's nice to see I wasn't being redundant when writing about this book. I'm not sure lab testing is necessarily becoming outdated, because there's a human portion to which that I'm not sure can be entirely replaced by remote testing. But doing it remotely can surely allow for a much wider reach (which is something Krug is quite emphatic about) and even simultaneous testing with a small team. By the way: suggesting this book to clients seems like a very good idea. It's short enough to not be disencouraging but dense enough to really get something through. Ethnio seems pretty cool from my first look! I'll try to go further into it in the next few days, and perhaps give it a try. Thanks for dropping by! <strong>PS:</strong> On the ampersand: thanks! Though it should go to Lucas de Groot, who designed <a href="http://www.lucasfonts.com/cgi-bin/loadframe/lucasfnt/theserif/serif-.html" rel="nofollow">TheSerif</a>, the header font. Hey Chris!

It was nice to read review confirming confirming that it's, we'll, just badass in its simplicity. :) One of the methodologies i wished it covered is remote research. I work on a web app called <a href="http://ethnio.com" rel="nofollow">ethnio</a> that is designed to make remote UI testing really easy ... I think it's only a matter of time before lab testing is considered completely outdated. I think/hope Krug's next edition will cover it more extensively as it is so much less expensive ....
