Program promoters and evaluators (10)

I believe the answer is:

appraisers

'evaluators' is the definition.
(appraiser is a kind of evaluator)

'program promoters' is the wordplay.
'program' becomes 'app' (type of computer program).
'promoters' becomes 'raisers'.
'app'+'raisers'='APPRAISERS'

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
