Evaluation Patterns for Design Science Research Artefacts as described by Sonnenberg and vom Brocke[1]
In order to exemplify their approach, they distinguish four evaluation types (Eval 1 to Eval 4), which are derived from typical DSR activities, and which are characterized by the input and output of each activity as wells as specific evaluation criteria and evaluation methods.
- Eval 1: Evaluating the problem identification: criteria include importance, novelty and feasibility.
- Eval 2: Evaluating the solution design: criteria include simplicity, clarity and consistency.
- Eval 3: Evaluating the solution instantiation: criteria include ease of use, fidelity with real-world phenomenon and robustness.
- Eval 4: Evaluating the solution in use: criteria include effectiveness, efficiency and external consistency.
