Product testing survey template

Anchored to the task you set: testers who finished easily move on, testers who struggled say which step was hardest, and testers who got stuck say where and can attach a screenshot. Everyone then says what they expected to happen, rates ease and quality, and reports any bugs they spotted.

Questions to consider

  • What exact task will you give testers, and where will you describe it: in the invite or in the form?
  • Which version or build are they testing, and should testers be asked to name it?
  • Do you need screen recordings, or are screenshots enough to reproduce a problem?
  • Who triages bug reports, and how quickly should testers hear back?

How to use the responses

Group the answers by task result first. Anyone who got stuck has shown you a blocker, so try to reproduce each one using their steps and screenshots. Then compare what testers expected with what happened: repeated mismatches point to a design problem rather than a bug. Keep bug reports and usability complaints in separate lists, since they usually go to different people.

How to customize and share it

  1. 1Describe the test task in the greeting or in the invite, and rename the device options to what you support.
  2. 2Add a question for the build or version number if you send the link for more than one release.
  3. 3Share the link with testers right after each session, and export the responses to CSV for your bug tracker.

Frequently asked questions

What questions should a product testing survey ask?

Whether the tester finished the task, where they struggled, what they expected instead, how easy and good it felt, any bugs they saw and whether they would use it for real.

Should every tester do the same task?

If you want to compare results, yes. Give free exploration its own round so you can tell which findings came from which kind of test.

How do I get useful bug reports from testers?

Ask what they were trying to do, what happened, whether they can make it happen again, and for a screenshot. This template asks all of these only of testers who hit a problem.

Can testers upload screenshots?

Yes. Testers who got stuck can attach images or short videos of the problem.
