One of the challenges that most of the surveyors face is that there is no way to check how would the reporting look like before the actual collection of the data. And that is why you should use generate test responses.<\/p>\n<p>Using QuestionPro\u2019s brand new feature of Generate Test Responses, the users can see exactly how their responses will look like once the data is collected. You will be able to view all options under the reporting and data management section. Test responses, however, do not follow any branching logic set on the questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to generate test responses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To generate test responses, go to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> tab of the survey, and click on <strong>Tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-104312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Generate_test_responses.png\" alt=\"generate test responses\" width=\"1241\" height=\"266\"><\/p>\n<p>Now, click on<strong>&nbsp;Test Responses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-104305\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Generate_test_responses_-_1.png\" alt=\"Test responses\" width=\"1243\" height=\"435\"><\/p>\n<p>From the drop-down for <strong>Number of Test Responses<\/strong>, select the number of responses you wish to generate, and click on <strong>Start Test<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24754 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.questionpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/online-survey-tool.png\" alt=\"Generate Test responses\" width=\"597\" height=\"163\"><\/p>\n<p>Test responses will be generated for the number you specified.
