Description
Frustrated by the contextual vacuum of card sorts and tree tests, this method of testing IA structures emerged from a need to leverage and validate the topological relationships of an information architecture that are often understood qualitatively rather than quantitatively. This new method of testing looks to understand how a user interprets the whole, rather than measure discrete actions. This talk will outline the basics of creating hypotheses and building a series of as-simple-as-possible structural prototypes through the frame of case studies and examples.
