YOU are in luck!
The Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University has
just released the "Ada Adoption Handbook: Compiler Selection and
Evaluation" (Nelson Weiderman, CMU/SEI-89-TR-13, March 1989).
It's the perfect start-up guide for someone who is just beginning
evaluate Ada compilers.  It should be subtitled "Everything you always
wanted to know about Ada compiler evaluation, but..."
I've been involved with Ada compiler evaluation since 1985 and I'm
totally impressed with Weiderman's coverage of the subject.  If it's
not in the Handbook, then the evaluators don't know about it.
Get a copy from DTIC or NTIS.

Incidentally, unlike other SEI publications, this one seems to be 
copyrighted.  I feel I can't copy it.  Does anyone know about this?
