An important property of information retrieval (IR) system performance is its effectiveness at finding and ranking relevant documents in response to a user query. Research and development in IR requires rapid evaluation of effectiveness in order to test new approaches. This chapter covers the test collections required to evaluate effectiveness as well as traditional and newer measures of effectiveness.
