Line 70: === Reverse card sorting === In a '''reverse card sort''' or(more ~~card-based~~popularly ~~classification~~called ~~test~~[[tree testing]]), an existing structure of categories and sub-categories is tested. Users are given tasks and are asked to complete them navigating a collection of cards. Each card contains the names of subcategories related to a category, and the user should find the card most relevant to the given task starting from the main card with the top-level categories. This ensures that the structure is evaluated in isolation, nullifying the effects of navigational aids, visual design, and other factors.▼ ~~{{See also\|Tree testing (information architecture)}}~~ ▲In a '''reverse card sort''' or card-based classification test, an existing structure of categories and sub-categories is tested.

Reverse card sorting is '''evaluative'''; it is used to judge whether a predetermined hierarchy provides a good way to find information.
