1		-The design evaluation aims to test and validate the system’s design, or to discriminate between multiple design options, such that the current design can be improved upon in incremental development cycles. The SCE method describes two parts that are relevant with respect to the system evaluation: (1) the prototype and/or simulation, and (2) the evaluation that describes the evaluation method and results.

Next, the evaluation approach and methods should be selected, taking into account whether they will be based on quantitative or qualitative data, and how the data will be collected, analyzed, and presented. Any practical issues, such as participant recruitment, budget, or scheduling, should also be identified, and a pilot study may be conducted if necessary. It is crucial to follow ethical procedures to ensure that participants are aware of their rights and are protected. Finally, the data should be evaluated to determine its reliability, validity, potential biases, environmental influences, and generalizability.
