UX Design
What is a Post-Test Survey
A Post-Test Survey is a structured feedback collection method administered immediately after usability testing sessions. It captures participants' impressions, satisfaction levels, and subjective feedback about their experience with the product or interface they just tested.
Key Components
Essential elements include:
- System Usability Scale (SUS): Standardized usability measurement
- Task-specific Questions: Feedback on specific features or flows tested
- Satisfaction Metrics: Overall experience ratings
- Open-ended Feedback: Qualitative insights and suggestions
How to create effective Post-Test Surveys
Design surveys that capture both quantitative and qualitative data. Keep questions focused, use consistent rating scales, and ensure questions directly relate to test objectives. Include a mix of closed and open-ended questions to gather comprehensive feedback.
Benefits of Post-Test Surveys
These surveys provide structured feedback while experiences are fresh in participants' minds, enable comparison across different test sessions, and help identify patterns in user perception and satisfaction. They complement observational data with subjective user insights.

Keep surveys to 5-10 minutes maximum. Focus on the most crucial questions while participants' memories are fresh. Longer surveys risk participant fatigue and less reliable responses.
Only if this information wasn't collected during recruitment or is specifically relevant to your test objectives. Avoid redundant questions that don't contribute to understanding the test results.
Document both perspectives and analyze the discrepancies. Often these contradictions reveal interesting insights about users' perceptions versus actual experiences.
