Quality Assurance Survey Template
This quality assurance survey helps software teams review a test cycle’s readiness, defect reports, and fix verification. Ask the people who tested or resolved issues what needs to change before the next release.
This quality assurance survey helps software teams review a test cycle’s readiness, defect reports, and fix verification. Ask the people who tested or resolved issues what needs to change before the next release.
Finding a bug is only one part of quality assurance. The team also needs usable test conditions, enough information to reproduce the issue, and a clear way to confirm the fix. This SurveyLegend questionnaire asks about those handoffs without turning opinion ratings into a release approval.
When to use this survey
Send it after a named software test cycle while testers and developers can still recall the work. Invite the roles involved in testing, triage and verification. Keep customer product experience feedback separate: this survey reviews the internal QA process, not how customers rate the finished product.
7 questions for your quality assurance survey
Think about the software release or test cycle named in the invitation. All questions are optional. Do not paste credentials, customer data, security vulnerabilities or confidential defect details here; use the approved issue-reporting system.

Customize your quality assurance survey
Specify whether the cycle concerns a web application, mobile release or another software product. Retain options for colleagues who did not perform a particular task. Keep actual bug reports, screenshots and sensitive diagnostic data in the approved tracking system. This survey asks whether the process worked; it is not a defect database.
Printable quality assurance survey
Use printed copies before a QA review for colleagues who prefer paper or are meeting away from their normal workstations. Give a collection point and remind respondents not to attach confidential bug reports. Review paper answers alongside online feedback using a process that avoids duplicate entries.

How to use the answers
Review readiness delays separately from defect-report quality. If reproduction information is often missing, agree which evidence the tracking form should request and who can supply it. If verification ownership is unclear, assign that step explicitly. Group open-ended data by the stage where work stalled. These answers do not measure defect rates, test coverage or release safety.
Zimmermann and colleagues’ 2010 study analyzed 466 responses about bug reports and found “an information mismatch between what developers need and what users supply”. Their bug reporting research informs the question about reproduction information. The research involved Apache, Eclipse and Mozilla communities; this original process questionnaire is not the study’s instrument and does not certify software quality.
Frequently asked questions
Can this survey approve a software release?
No. A release decision needs the team’s actual testing evidence and approval process. This questionnaire collects feedback about how the work was done.
Is this a bug-report form?
No. Use the approved issue tracker for individual defects. This survey asks whether reports and handoffs gave colleagues the information they needed.
Can it be used for manufacturing quality assurance?
The questions are written for software testing. Manufacturing needs a different scope, terminology and process-specific review rather than simply changing the title.
