"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." - Abraham Lincoln
You may be testing an existing tree (e.g. the structure of your existing site) or trying out some new trees (revised, or completely rethought) to see how well they work.
In either case, your tree will need to be prepared for testing. In many cases, this is just a matter of minor housekeeping (importing the tree into a spreadsheet, excluding certain headings like “Search”, and so on), but sometimes you need to make some bigger decisions about your tree (e.g. whether to prune a large tree).
In this chapter, we’ll cover everything you’ll need to consider when preparing your tree for testing.
