Someone recently notified me of a new site, IAApps.com, dedicated exclusively to software applications for user experience professionals.

IAApps organizes all the different tools into 4 categories:

Interface Modeling
Prototyping
Screen Capture
Usability Testing

Each category is then further organized by OS platform:

Mac OSX flavors
Windows flavors
Web

I found the navigation somewhat clumsy.  Rather than navigate the menus, I’d prefer a tool “site map” - a single page with all of the tools listed under each category and operating system so that I could quickly scan for what I want.  You almost get that “Show All Listings”, but not quite.

Aside from that, I think the site can be a valuable resource by providing a definitive directory of all the software applications user experience professionals need, and a way for us to rate the tools.

I’m going to head over there now and rate some of the tools myself.
