The focus of this chapter is on the fourth stage of DRM: the DS-II stage. It discusses how empirical studies can be used to evaluate the application and impact of the design support that has been developed in the PS stage (see Chapter 5). Because the functionalities and means of the realisation of the Actual Support and the Evaluation Plan are closely linked, an Outline Evaluation Plan should already be formulated while developing the support, i.e., the DS-II stage should start during the PS stage. Many details of planning and undertaking an empirical study have been discussed in Chapter 4 and the reader is expected to be familiar with that chapter. This chapter focuses on: the types of evaluation we distinguish; the differences between DS-I and DS-II; existing evaluation approaches; and the specific issues related to the use of an empirical study for evaluation purposes.
