Selecting patterns for the evaluation of systems

Abstract

Earlier, we proposed a general pattern-based evaluation method of systems. The method is based on the use of Analytical Hierarchy Process and the use of patterns as criteria. This paper describes a process of selecting patterns that would be used during the evaluation. This process is an important step in the method. Firstly, we describe the process, based on an example. More precisely, we select a set of usability patterns that one could use to evaluate e-learning systems. After that, we propose a generalized process for selecting patterns. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
