How to use the generated tasks
- Review each task — does it match a real user goal in your product?
- Refine the wording if it's too generic or doesn't fit your audience.
- Drop ambiguous tasks (where two paths could be "right") unless you specifically want to test ambiguity.
- Aim for 6-8 final tasks — enough for signal, few enough to avoid participant fatigue.
- Run them as a tree test on ValidateThat or any tree-testing tool.
What makes a good tree test task?
- Real-world scenarios — "You want to..." not "Click on..."
- Avoid the tree's exact words — test the user's mental model, not their reading
- Clear correct answer — there should be one expected destination
- Mix of difficulty — easy tasks build confidence, hard ones reveal IA gaps
- Cover edge cases — items that could plausibly live in multiple categories
