SECTION F SHOULD INCLUDE:
Formalised evidence of iteration
Justification of any deviations from the plan and/or final design
Relevant testing of the prototype that is both tangible and measurable
User-based testing and feedback
Evaluation/assessment of the final product against specification criteria (with evidence)
A concluding statement
A list of identified changes required as a result of testing
A re-design of the final design to include identified changes required
4.4.4.6 Section F: Analysing & evaluating (20 marks)
Within this iterative design process students are expected to continuously analyse and evaluate their work, using their decisions to improve outcomes. This should include defining requirements, analysing the design brief and specifications along with the testing and evaluating of ideas produced during the generation and development stages. Their final prototype(s) will also undergo a range of tests on which the final evaluation will be formulated. This should include market testing and a detailed analysis of the prototype(s).
Reminder: Analysis and evaluation should be an ongoing process of reflection and iteration.

PRODUCT TESTING & ONGOING EVALUATION
Testing your product is essential to determining its success and suitability as a solution to your starting problem.
This section of your portfolio should include:
Relevant user-based testing that is both tangible and measurable
Assessment against your specification criteria
A project conclusion
Use the slides opposite to guide you through what should be included, how it should be done and to look through completed student examples.
ITERATION
ITERATION
Iteration should be evident and ongoing throughout your project. Section F is a great opportunity to formalise and evidence this through reflection, conclusion and a series of images that visually demonstrate the process of iteration that your design has gone through.
Read through the slides presentation below to better understand the process of iteration and to view successful examples.
IDENTIFYING & ACTIONING DESIGN CHANGES
IDENTIFYING & ACTIONING DESIGN CHANGES
To evidence that you have conducted and recored useful and relevant testing of your prototype, you should now list the necessary changes and then action them by redesigning all or part of your product to include the identified changes.
Use the slides opposite to guide you through what should be included, how it should be done and to look through completed student examples.
