[Sigia-l] testing navigation models

[Donna Maurer]

Hehe, but none of these test *navigation*, they test the IA. The 
original question may have been about IA testing, in which case, these 
are useful techniques.

I do still have a problem with using closed card sorting to test. It is 
content-centric, not task centric and I think there is quite a 
difference between where you would 'put' information and where you would 
look for it. But I've never done a direct comparison, so maybe...
