Promoting the use of Design Evaluation Techniques within Software Development.

The importance of evaluating the design of software is essential to the success of the final software product. Design evaluation is widely used within the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community. Note, that the American Evaluation Association (AEA) defines design evaluation as the systematic approach to the gathering and analysis of data to define requirements, to assess the merit, worth and significance of the item undergoing evaluation (Administrator-2014).
