- Quantitative comparison
- Ranking matrix
- User testing
- Measuring dimensions
-
Why are potential modifications identified during design evaluation?

- Design modification
-
What primary benefit do numerical dimensions provide when evaluating a prototype against its specification?
- Quantitative evidence
- Subjective opinion
- Aesthetic review
- Qualitative feedback
-
What is the main limitation of relying solely on user testing groups?

- Qualitative comparison
- Quantitative comparison
-
Which combination of methods provides the most complete product evaluation?
- Costing and packaging
- Assembly and disassembly

- Approve for production
- Reduce product cost
- Modify for usability
-
What primary outcome should a thorough design evaluation identify?

A designer records the time taken to complete a task with the product and compares it with a target time. Which evaluation method is used?
- Freehand sketching
- Block model testing
- Quantitative comparison
- Qualitative comparison
-
Which evaluation technique is best suited for checking if a component fits a specified slot?
- Market surveys
- Measuring dimensions
