re: re: Classification Evaluation Method |

I was wondering if anyone has tried a classification evaluation to test labels and taxonomies? It's a low-fidelity method that is done before you even get to the paper prototyping phase. In April I read this "how-to" article on card-based clasification evaluations on boxesandarrows.com and I think it's an invaluable method (http://www.boxesandarrows.com/archives/cardbased_classification_evaluation.php).
This is a great article. I was particularly interested in the author's attention to the audience response to the tests.
On a recent test, I was pushing a group of 8 through a web prototype: they had a set of questions, and I'd ask the same questions, keeping them moving along fairly quickly. One person in particular was really upset about this: she wanted to study the site, "soak it in first," and then answer the questions.
But we wanted first impressions and responses. Although I warned folks at the beginning that we might move quickly, she was still dissatisfied.
