This guide is about tree testing, described by Wikipedia as:

a usability technique for evaluating the findability of topics in a website.

 

Tree testing originated as a paper-based method created by Donna Spencer while at Step Two Designs. It is now mostly done online using commercial tools.

This guide is based on lessons learned from hundreds of tree tests and dozens of Information Architecture (IA) projects run for small, medium, and large organizations.

Originally conceived as a book, Tree Testing for Websites has morphed into a community wiki so that:

  • It can reach the widest audience possible (by Internet searching and word-of-mouth linking).
  • It can be updated to match the latest developments in Information Architecture.
  • Tree testers can comment on articles (no login required) and add their own content (get a login below).
