Résumé	First-Click Testing is a rapid, quantitative method for evaluating whether users click on the correct element to start a task on a web page or screen. Users view a screenshot or live page and are asked to click where they would start a specific task. The test measures success rate (correct first click) and records which elements are commonly misclicked. Unlike tree testing (text-only navigation), first-click testing preserves visual design, isolating navigation labeling and visual information architecture in realistic context.	Tree Testing is a quantitative, task-based validation method for evaluating information architecture and navigation structures. Users are presented with a text-only representation of a website or app hierarchy (a tree) and asked to locate specific items or complete tasks by clicking through the structure. Unlike card sorting, which reveals user mental models during design, tree testing validates whether a proposed structure allows users to find items efficiently. The method captures success rate, time-to-completion, and paths taken, providing metrics for comparing navigation designs.
