Question 1

A Criteria are always written after evaluation is complete.

B Evaluation criteria are used to judge a finished solution.

C They are based on the original requirements.

D Each criterion should be measurable.

Question 2

A A checklist can be used to evaluate a solution.

B Checklists make evaluation more inconsistent between reviewers.

C It lists each criterion to check off.

D This helps ensure nothing is missed.

Question 3

A User feedback can be used as an evaluation technique.

B It shows whether real users are satisfied with the solution.

C User feedback is always identical to functional requirements.

D This can reveal whether criteria have been met.

Question 4

A Evaluation criteria should be specific and testable.

B Vague criteria are hard to judge accurately.

C Clear criteria make evaluation more reliable.

D Vague criteria are always preferred over specific ones.

Question 5

A "Looks nice" is an equally measurable criterion.

B "Loads within 2 seconds" is a measurable criterion.

C It can be tested by timing the load.

D Measurable criteria support fair evaluation.

Answer Key

Evaluation Criteria and Techniques

Section A: Quick Questions

B — True

A — Yes

A — Loads in 2 seconds

B — Yes

Section B: Match the Pairs

The system must load within 2 seconds → A measurable evaluation criterion for performance

A list used to check off each criterion during evaluation → Checklist

A standard used to judge whether a solution meets requirements → Evaluation criterion

Real users share their experience of using the finished solution → User feedback

The evaluation used the vague criterion 'looks nice' to judge the solution → Evaluation criteria should be specific and measurable, not vague

The team evaluated the solution without referencing any of the original requirements → Evaluation criteria should be based directly on the original requirements

Section C: Definitions

Evaluation criteria — Measurable standards used to judge how well a finished solution meets its original requirements and purpose

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

1. Loads within 2 seconds

2. Allows users to book a slot

3. Sends a confirmation email

Evaluation criteria are measurable standards

Criteria are based on original requirements

Section E: Spot the Error

A — Criteria are written before evaluation, based on the original requirements, not after evaluation is complete.

B — Checklists actually make evaluation more consistent between reviewers, not less.

C — User feedback is a separate evaluation technique, not identical to functional requirements.

D — Specific, testable criteria are preferred over vague ones, since vague criteria are hard to judge accurately.

A — "Looks nice" is vague and hard to measure, unlike a specific, testable criterion like load time.
