Add Tree test and write a need without explaining the path.

  • Where would you find a copy of your bill?

An example to try

Where would you find a copy of your bill?

  • My account → Bills
  • Help → Contact

What you see in results

  • Compare success, direct paths, first branches and chosen destinations.
  • A correct answer after several backtracks differs from direct success.

Avoid these mix-ups

  • Do not name the destination label in the task if that label is being tested.
  • A tree measures structure; button appearance requires a visual test.
