Thousands of people give your survey their time. Your client bets a decision on what they said. One broken filter wastes both. We built SurveyTester so that no survey goes to field untested.
To respondents, it says: your time counts. To the client, it says: these numbers are right. Survey QA is how that promise is kept. It is also the step that gets squeezed whenever the deadline does not move.
A tester plays one plausible respondent, again and again. The filter that breaks sits on the route nobody played.
Every fix needs a re-check, every language its own pass, every tracker wave a comparison. That is the work that gets skipped at six in the evening.
Before launch it costs a minute. After launch it costs sample, days and the trust of your client.
“We needed to repeat 500 interviews because of errors in the survey.”
We believe every survey should be tested the way respondents will take it: every route, every language, every device. Before the first real respondent arrives, not after the client calls.
SurveyTester is the QA platform for the surveys you already script. It does not replace your survey platform. It tests what your respondents will see, and gives your team one place to find, fix and re-check every issue.
Upload the Word or Excel questionnaire. AI compares it with the live survey and flags missing options, wrong routing and changed wording.
Watch episode 5 and see how →
One test case per quota cell, routing branch and termination rule, built from the questionnaire and played by bots.
Watch episode 1 and see how →
Bots answer through the respondent interface, on desktop and mobile, with a screenshot of every page and 29 automatic checks on each.
Watch episode 2 and see how →
AI personas with their own age, style and open answers, including the ones who drop out or click through without reading.
Watch episode 4 and see how →
Bots connect through local exit nodes, so geo checks, country routing and local formats behave exactly as in the field.
Watch episode 3 and see how →
Paste all survey links at once. SurveyTester reads language and market from each link and compares translations word by word.
Watch episode 8 and see how →
When the scripter marks an issue as fixed, SurveyTester captures the page again and shows whether the fix holds. A person makes the call.
Watch episode 6 and see how →
Link this wave to the last one. Every changed text, answer option and route is marked, so nobody compares questions by hand.
Watch episode 7 and see how →Testers report an issue right on the survey page and mark the problem on the screenshot. The survey author sees the exact answers that led there and replays the run with one click. Nobody types up reproduction steps, nobody hunts through email threads.
Also on board: screenshots for iPhone and Android, an accessibility report for WCAG 2.1, EAA and Section 508, and exports to Excel and your QA formats.
Keep scripting where you script. SurveyTester detects the platform from the survey link. Missing yours? Tell us, we keep adding new ones.
Paste the survey link, or all of them, one per language and market. SurveyTester detects the platform from the link. Upload the questionnaire and it builds the test cases for you.
Choose how many interviews, on which devices, from which countries, and press start. Bots play every test case, capture every page and run 29 automatic checks on it. You get an email when they are done.
Findings arrive sorted by page. Turn one into an issue with a click, mark it on the screenshot and assign it. The scripter replays the exact run, fixes it, and SurveyTester re-checks before your team signs off.
“SurveyTester has saved our company hundreds of hours in testing time. It has so many great tools and features to ensure our surveys are top quality and will work across all devices and browsers.”
“One of the real advantages of SurveyTester is that you can reproduce your test, so if you have found a bug and you want to go straight there you just click or reuse the test run and you have the same answers. … If you are testing a 30-minute interview and the bug is near the end, then that can be 30 minutes each time you test it just to get to that point.”
“In case I haven't made it clear to you already, on behalf of C+R, we can't thank you enough for all of the effort you've made to fine-tune SurveyTester for our usage.”
Every survey team has a Max. Short films about what goes wrong between scripting and fieldwork, each about 30 seconds, each with a page that shows how SurveyTester does it for real.
Episode 1Max tested the main route. The client found the other 36.
Episode 2500 test interviews before lunch. Max tried it by hand.
Episode 3500 interviews from São Paulo. Nobody had to fly.
Episode 4A granny, a student and a businessman. All of them Clicky.
Episode 5Two hundred printed pages, one highlighter. Or one Clicky.
Episode 6Two hundred issues fixed. Who re-tests them?
Episode 7Five percent changed. Who checks the other ninety-five?
Episode 8What is your zip code? Your bots need to know the country.
Step-by-step guides, sandboxes with real demo surveys, and answers to the questions teams ask in their first week.
No. SurveyTester does not build surveys. It tests the surveys you already script in your own platform, through the same interface your respondents see.
Among others Forsta Surveys (Decipher), Forsta Plus (Confirmit), Qualtrics, UNICOM Intelligence (Dimensions), Askia, Nfield, Sawtooth, Voxco, LimeSurvey, SurveyMonkey, Alchemer, QuestionPro, IntelliSurvey and Tivian. The platform is detected from the survey link. Issue reporting, screenshots and many checks also work with platforms that are not on the list.
No. Upload the questionnaire and SurveyTester builds them: one complete respondent per quota cell or routing branch and one screenout per termination rule. You can edit them or add your own in plain words.
No. AI can run on engines hosted by SurveyTester, on your own key or on an internal model, and it can be switched off for the whole company. Bots, screenshots and automatic checks work without it.
Per project. There is no limit on users or test runs within a project, and every plan includes all features. See pricing.
