The EVA Architect: You are evaluating a "Sustainable Coffee Cup Lid." List one specific test for each of these three categories: Functionality, User Satisfaction, and Sustainability.
- Solution:
- Functionality: A "Leakage Test" where the cup is tilted 45 degrees for 60 seconds.
- User Satisfaction: A "Likert Scale Survey" (1-5) asking users how easy the lid is to remove.
- Sustainability: A "Material Origin Analysis" to verify the lid is made from 100% bio-based resources.
- Hint: Make sure each test is measurable or observable.
💡 Hint: Make sure each test is measurable or observable.
The Alignment Critique: A student wants to test the "Color Brightness" of their package, but their original Design Brief focused entirely on "Industrial Strength for Shipping." Use the concept of Alignment to explain why this test might be a poor choice.
- Answer: Testing for color brightness does not Align with the original goal of industrial strength. In a high-quality evaluation, every test should relate back to the primary problems identified in the brief. This test lacks Relevance to the core mission of shipping safety.
- Hint: Evaluation should stay focused on the "Mission Statement."
💡 Hint: Evaluation should stay focused on the "Mission Statement."
