1016 Pretesting and Pilot TestingINTRODUCTIONIn this chapter, we detail the possibilities and pitfalls presented by Pretesting , the methods of validating the survey instrument and its measurements, and Pilot Testing , the dress rehearsal of survey administration and procedures (Rothgeb 2008, 584). Pretesting and Pilot Testing are invaluable components of survey research, affording researchers a valuable opportunity for reflection and revision of their project before the costs of errors begin to multiply later on. We begin this chapter with a discussion of the goals of and guidelines for Pretesting followed by a summary checklist to help you make the most of this procedure. Then we provide an elaboration of the broader process of Pilot Testing the entire project from start to finish.
