A screening survey is a survey that applicants receive before being accepted into a test. Screening surveys include one or more screening questions. When a tester receives a test invite, they first are taken to the screening survey.
For example, if you are recruiting testers for a running app, you may want to include the following screening question. Testers that never run will be rejected from the test.
Tester Screening Process:
Testers must match the defined demographic and device criteria to be eligible to apply to a test (e.g. location, age, gender, device type)
A tester receives a private invite to a test via email, or clicks to apply to a test that is available publicly.
The tester is presented with the screening survey
If they answer any screening questions incorrectly, their application to join the test will be rejected
