EVALUATE



=Evaluate=

You now need to evaluate your product. You do this by.

Testing
Follow your test plan to make sure you have tested all the important aspects of your product. You should record your results for each test and what that result means. for example these were the tests Place a 100kg weight in boat and place boat in water to see if it floats See if I can carry the boat 100m easily Use legs to see if boat moves on land and in water Try to steer the boat in a figure of 8 pattern on land and in water ask somone to use the boat and ask them if it was easy to use. does the boat have a bell which works.

I will only use the first test as an example.

When I places a 100kg weight in the boat, it failed to float. This means that the boat will not be able to support my weight and that of my bags, books etc.

Comparing to Design specification
Check each item in your list for what your product must be or must have (Design specification) and see how well your product satisfies that condition. For example this was what was in the design specification My boat must be able to float on water carrying a weight of 100kg My boat must be light enough for me to carry. My boat must be propelled both in water and on land by power from my legs My boat must use the same method of steering on land and in water. My boat must be easy to use My boat must have a bell.

I will only use the first specification point.

My product although it floats, is not capable of supporting me and my equipment. So the product was not successful in this sense. (I would add bigger floats next time)

You will need to do this for all your tests and all the items in your design specification.
