Survey Quality Prediction is an important field and used in the European Social Survey

Survey Quality Prediction is a field of study and has led to the development of several methods and programs for the pre evaluation of survey questions.

Stanley Presser. Methods for testing and evaluating survey questionnaires (2004) - Survey Qualtiy Prediction is mentioned in section 14.3

Willem E. Saris, Irmtraud N. Gallhofer Design, Evaluation, and Analysis of Questionnaires for Survey Research (Wiley Series in Survey Methodology) (2007) - Features the essential methodologies and statistical tools for developing reliable and valid survey questionnaires

The article quality may need to be improved. But Survey Quality Prediction is much more that one single software application. It deserves it's own page on wikipedia to introduce the history of the field and its application. Tomgruner (talk) 12:05, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
