Test the study before using it with participants. This helps you catch questions that are too broad, too shallow, or pointed in the wrong direction.
How To Test A Study
Step 1: Finish the draft
Make sure the study context and interview questions are generated.
Step 2: Open Test Interview or Review
Use the testing or review action from the study builder.
Step 3: Check the first question
The first question should match the study goal and feel specific to the participant.
Step 4: Check the follow-ups
Make sure follow-ups ask for useful detail instead of repeating the same idea.
Step 5: Edit and test again
Update the context, questions, key terms, or follow-up instructions, then test again if needed.
What To Look For
- the opening feels clear
- the first question is not generic
- the follow-ups ask for useful detail
