In previous articles, we have considered a number of general issues concerned with evaluating methods and tools. In the next few articles we describe how to perform a specific type of evaluation exercise called Feature Analysis.This article discusses the principles of feature analysis and describes how to identify features and establish a means of scoring products against those features. Later articles consider how to plan a feature-based evaluation and how to analyze the results of an evaluation.
