Diagnostic evaluation

Definition

EAGLES 1996 distinguishes a type of evaluation whose purpose was to discover why a system did not give the results it was expected to give. Typically performed by a researcher developing a prototype system, such an evaluation is almost exclusively concerned with functionality characteristics and will also often make use of internal metrics based on the intermediate results the system produces. Diagnostic evaluation typically uses glass-box evaluation principles.

Notes

Internal evaluation may also be glass box, and it is also possible to use black-box evaluations to do diagnostics.

The property "glass/black box" does not spawn children, but is rather a property which distinguishes certain methods under more than one taxon.
