The process model for data-driven validation of systems of objectives supports developers in performing such data analyses. However, developers still struggle in the process of identification and selection of data and analysis tools. Thus, this work aims to develop methodical support in this process. nine expert interviews are conducted from which 15 influencing factors on the process are identified. Based on this methodical support is derived. For successful process execution, three areas of expertise are identified that must be covered regarding development domain, data, and conducting analysis. Developers have differing skills and thus require distinct levels of assistance in different process stages. To guarantee support to as many developers as possible while ensuring applicability and efficiency, five personas are derived covering frequently occurring expertise patterns. Furthermore, metadata documentation is identified as a central lever to reduce complexity in handling data, which in turn decreases dependency on experts. Thus, a consumer-focused data catalog concept is developed. Activity profiles are used to guide developers through the process while providing support at different stages as needed. Finally, the evaluation of the solution by conducting workshops with 15 developers shows an improvement of 41.7 percent in task accomplishment.en2212-8271Procedia CIRP2024114119Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Data AnalyticsDesign methodologyMethodical SupporttechnologiestoolsComputer Science, Information and General Works::004: Computer SciencesComputer Science, Information and General Works::005: Computer Programming, Programs, Data and SecurityMethodical support for identifying and selecting data and analysis tools in the data-driven development of complex mechatronic systemsConference Paper10.15480/882.1371510.1016/j.procir.2024.04.00210.15480/882.13715Conference Paper
