# Survey Path Analysis

_Pages & Routing · SurveyTester Academy_

**Survey Path Analysis** provides visibility into the different paths respondents can follow through a survey. It helps users understand branching logic, validate survey flow, and troubleshoot navigation issues.

Use this feature when you need to:

-   Review survey routing and branching logic.
-   Understand respondent journeys.
-   Validate complex survey flows.
-   Troubleshoot navigation or logic issues.

Before using this feature:

-   Multiple survey tests must have been completed.
-   The survey should contain branching logic, skip logic, or conditional paths.

##### View Survey Path Analysis

1.  Open the project and navigate to the **Pages & Routing** section.
2.  Go to **Path Analysis** near the search bar in the top-right corner of the screen.
3.  Review the available survey paths displayed by the system.
4.  Select a path to examine the sequence of pages, questions, and branching decisions.
5.  Compare different paths to understand variations in survey flow.

## Expected Result
You can see how respondents move through the survey and identify which routes are taken based on branching logic and survey conditions.

##### Feature Details

| **Feature** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Tracked Paths | Displays the different routes available within the survey. |
| Branch Analysis | Shows how respondents are routed through conditional logic. |
| Journey Visibility | Helps visualize the sequence of pages and decisions taken during the survey. |
| Flow Validation | Supports verification of complex survey behavior. |

##### Notes

-   Surveys with extensive branching logic may generate multiple unique paths.
-   Path Analysis reflects the routes identified during SurveyBot testing.
-   Reviewing paths can help identify gaps, unexpected routing, or logic errors.

##### Example Use Case

A customer satisfaction survey contains multiple routing rules based on respondent answers. After running SurveyBot, the survey designer reviews Path Analysis to ensure respondents are directed to the correct follow-up questions and survey sections.

##### Key Takeaway

Survey Path Analysis provides deeper insight into survey navigation by revealing respondent paths and branching behavior, making it easier to validate survey flow and troubleshoot complex logic.
