Therefore the Proof of Concept assessment tools are very important, aiming to test the balance between TENCompetence framework, technology, assessment model, target audience and user acceptance, addressing mainly the feasibility of the TENCompetence Assessment Model. The Proof of Concept assessment tools are not looking for a single end-to-end solution but for the creation of set of mini-assessment environments, sharing common Assessment Model, in which key elements and their dependencies can be tested and verified.

Introduction Within the framework of TENCompetence project [1] there was developed new assessment model suitable for lifelong competence development [6]. This model is rather complex, or meta- model for describing different types of assessments and helping to model some assessment processes. Our main goal was to prove that this model will work in practice. For this purpose we need to implement the model developing different types of assessments. We choose to implement two different assessment approaches using the model - 360 degree feedback and portfolio assessment. For this purpose we implemented two proof-of-concept tools: assessment editor tool and run-time assessment tool (helping the end user to apply the model in order to implement the chosen assessment examples). In this paper we describe the evaluation of these tools. During the evaluation we aim to answer the following questions: (1) are the tools capable for the implementation of the TENCompetence Assessment model, and (2) can we apply the model in order to perform the two chosen assessment methods. The evaluation took place in the period between 1st of September and 31st of October 2007. In order to answer the two above stated questions, we develop test scenarios and test cases. They serve as the main requirements for the usability and feasibility of the model and the proof-of- concept tools. The aim of the evaluation was to measure the extent to which the tools met their aim (matching to requirements)
