Taste Test Overview

May 28, 2023

Flavor Studio’s Taste Test tools make online survey authoring easy: recruit and manage your panel, create user-friendly, customized questionnaires, collect data, and run analyses on your sensory and consumer tests. Results are displayed graphically with simple-to-interpret images.

 

Flavor Studio provides three ways to collect responses from tasters:

Invite people via email, including bulk import of email addresses.

Distribute the QR code image (does not require an invitation) 

Something akin to a central location test (CLT) where people are not invited but happen to be in the same place. Ask your tasters to go to tastetestlogin.com on their mobile devices, or tablets/laptops you provide, and input the unique six-digit code. Then you can collect their anonymous responses on your products or if you wish, you can ask them to provide an email address to start the survey.

Notes: Admin- and Premium-level users are entitled to unlimited Taste Test surveys.

Professional-level users cannot create, manage, or view Taste Tests.

The original creator of a taste test is the owner and is the only person allowed to manage a test. However, tests can be shared with other Premium-level users or Admins.

One of the most useful features is Copy Questionnaire, which allows you to copy any number of questions from an existing questionnaire into the current questionnaire. Please see the description below.

 

At any point in the process of creating or running a taste test, you can preview the survey by clicking the Preview button, located in the upper right area of the page. 

Test Preview shows you exactly what the tasters will see when they take the survey.

Finally, there is no SAVE button for the Taste Tests. All of your changes are automatically saved. However, most dialog forms still provide the opportunity to SAVE or CANCEL your changes.

 

Creating a new survey requires six steps:

Create the new Taste Test with some basic information

Add your Product for evaluation

Create the Questionnaire

Invite Tasters

Conduct the test

Analyze the results
