Tree testing and card sorting are related techniques that are often used in information architecture design. Card sorting is a technique used to help design the information architecture of a website or application by allowing users to organize content into categories that make sense to them. Tree testing, on the other hand, is a technique used to evaluate the effectiveness of an existing information architecture by testing how easy it is for users to find specific pieces of content within the structure. While these techniques have different goals, they both involve the use of user feedback to inform the design of the information architecture. Therefore, tree testing is similar to card sorting in that they are both methods used to improve the information architecture of a website or application.
