The document discusses remote user testing as an alternative to in-person testing. It addresses common objections to testing like lack of need, time, money, or know-how. Remote testing allows testing from anywhere at any time even for free. It can be moderated, with the tester observing user sessions in real-time, or unmoderated using tools that provide pre-recorded videos or usage statistics. The document provides examples of services like UserTesting, OpenHallway, Loop11 and Navflow that facilitate unmoderated remote testing.
