The evaluation of their user acceptance is crucial in order to guide the development and research and to compare different products. This chapter describes the classification of evaluations using the criteria target, type, test environment, and measuring tool. It therefore helps to classify existing studies and shows developers of evaluations different test design possibilities. Finally, a field study in nursing care is presented. Its target was to compare two different passive force assisting suits. Within this example all steps concerning the test design and analysis are shown.
