A real‐world multi‐criteria decision aid (MCDA) application on software evaluation is presented in this paper.

The decision aiding process is extensively presented and discussed, mainly as far as its products are concerned, i.e. –the problem situation; –the problem formulation; –the evaluation model; –the final recommendation.
