Tip

~A bit of planning up front will save us time, effort, and frustration later.

Tip

We can use tree testing to get a baseline score for an existing website, test revisions to an existing structure, or make new structures compete against each other and the original site.

Tip

We should plan to test our entire structure unless it’s large (> 500 items), in which case we can test a pruned version of it.

Tip

Early on, we’ll need to determine which audiences to target, how we will reach them, and what incentive (if any) we’ll offer them.

Tip

We should start testing as soon as we have a structure written down.

Tip

Will we only test online, or will we need to supplement our results with some in-person sessions?

Tip

To run a good study, there are several roles to fill. Will we do them all ourselves, or do we need to involve other people?

Tip

If something goes wrong during testing, we need to plan how we will handle it.

Tip

Documenting our plan makes everything easier, especially if we have a template to start from.
