This chapter discusses a usability engineering approach for the design and the evaluation of adaptive web-based systems, focusing on practical issues. A list of methods will be presented, considering a user-centered approach. After having introduced the peculiarities that characterize the evaluation of adaptive web-based systems, the chapter describes the evaluation methodologies following the temporal phases of evaluation, according to a user-centered approach. Three phases are distinguished: requirement phase, preliminary evaluation phase, and final evaluation phase. Moreover, every technique is classified according to a set of parameters that highlight the practical exploitation of that technique. For every phase, the appropriate techniques are described by giving practical examples of their application in the adaptive web. A number of issues that arise when evaluating an adaptive system are described, and potential solutions and workarounds are sketched.
