Tree testing evaluates website navigation structure and ability to find information, products, etc. by testing “text-only” menu hierarchies without final hi-fidelity design being ready. UXArmy’s tree testing tool brings this “naked menu” hunt to life with task analysis, path visualization, backtracking highlights, and key metrics like success rates, time-on-task, and directness scores to build confusion-free navigation that actually makes it easy for users to find information, features or product.
