# SurveyTester

> SurveyTester is a cloud-based survey quality assurance (QA) and testing platform for market research. Survey bots test online surveys through the same interface respondents use, capture screenshots, check routing and translations, and detect technical problems such as missing images. QA teams, survey programmers, project managers, translators and clients report and track issues directly on the survey page. SurveyTester is operated by 2x4 Solutions GmbH in Mettenheim, Germany, and has been in use since 2013.
