Testing the questionnaire
Use Build’s Test option to activate the project in test mode and optionally run a test interview. Activating in test mode sets the project’s Test Version property to be the latest version of the questionnaire, and its Active Version property to None.
The following things happen when you activate in test mode:
Build generates a read-only Routing section for the questionnaire based on the questions it contains plus any statements you have placed in IOM Script items or loaded from the script library. The Routing section is called Paper. (Note that this differs from the default Routing section name used by UNICOM Intelligence Professional, which is Web.)
The Launch activity (see Launch) activates the project. If the project’s status is Inactive, the activation process changes it to Test.
A dialog displays the URL to use for running a test interview.
You cannot run test interviews on projects whose status is Active. If you want to run test interviews on an active project you must run the View Survey Link activity from UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer Server - Admin.
To run a test interview
1 Choose Tools > Activate > Test Mode.
A message box reports the progress of the activation activity. When the process is complete, the message box displays a URL that you can use for running test interviews on this project.
2 Click Copy to Clipboard to copy to URL onto your clipboard.
3 Start a new browser session, and then paste the URL into the Address box to run an interview.
4 When you have finished testing, click Close to close the message box.
