Developer & Engineering
Proven studies in this category, ready to customize.
Project Management Software Usage & Satisfaction Survey
Measures how teams actually use their project management tool day to day — adoption, feature-level satisfaction, and the friction points that drive people back to spreadsheets — with an AI follow-up that reconstructs a specific recent workflow moment instead of general sentiment. Built for product, IT, and operations teams evaluating or renewing tools.
View templateSoftware Developer Performance Review & Growth Survey
A structured performance check-in for software engineers that pairs self-rated competency scores, behavioral frequency questions, and a priority trade-off exercise with an AI follow-up interview that digs into the developer's biggest blocker and lowest-rated skill area for concrete, specific detail managers can use in 1:1s and growth plans.
View templateSoftware Update Rollout Feedback Survey
Captures how a specific software release landed with users — installation friction, stability, performance, and which features actually helped — for product and engineering teams shipping regular updates. The AI follow-up interview reconstructs exactly what broke or slowed someone down instead of settling for a vague 'it had bugs.'
View templateCRM Software Developer & Integration Experience Survey
Evaluates how engineers, sales-ops developers, and technical admins experience building on, customizing, and integrating with your CRM platform — covering API reliability, documentation, customization limits, and workflow tooling — with an AI follow-up that digs into the specific integration blocker behind the ratings, not just general sentiment.
View templateSoftware Tool Evaluation & Adoption Fit Survey
Captures how a software tool actually performed during a trial, pilot, or proof-of-concept — usability, integrations, support, and value for cost — and ranks which factors matter most to the decision. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs the real story behind the adoption call, including near-misses and blockers. Built for engineering, IT, and product teams running a formal tool evaluation.
View templateDistributed Tracing Sampling Strategies Benchmark
A developer-focused research instrument for benchmarking distributed tracing sampling adoption, practices, and trade-offs across OpenTelemetry and related observability tooling. Designed for engineering teams seeking to understand how peers approach head-based, tail-based, and adaptive sampling decisions.
View templateSRE/DevOps Toil Measurement & Automation Gap Analysis
Quantifies toil sources, automation maturity, and incident-resolution quality for SRE, platform, and DevOps teams over a 30-day period. Use to benchmark reliability operations and prioritize tooling investments.
View templateAPI/SDK Migration Readiness & Blockers Assessment
Assess developer teams' API and SDK migration status, identify top blockers, and surface support needs to plan lower-risk, faster upgrades.
View templateLLM Prompt Injection Awareness & Mitigation Practices Survey
Measures developer awareness of prompt injection threats, captures current security mitigation practices, and identifies gaps in LLM application defense. Designed for engineering teams building or evaluating LLM-integrated features.
View templateOpenTelemetry Adoption & Readiness Assessment
Measures developer familiarity, adoption stage, blockers, and rollout priorities for OpenTelemetry across engineering teams to inform instrumentation strategy and resource planning.
View templateOpen Source Contributor Experience & Governance Survey
Measures contribution path clarity, governance transparency, maintainer responsiveness, and improvement priorities for open-source projects. Designed for project maintainers seeking to improve contributor satisfaction and retention.
View templateDeveloper Open-Source License Compliance Experience Survey
Measures how developers navigate open-source license compliance, including confidence levels, tooling satisfaction, workflow clarity, and key barriers. Designed for engineering teams and developer-tool organizations seeking to improve compliance processes and SBOM adoption.
View templateSRE/DevOps On-Call Workload & Recovery Assessment
Measures on-call alert burden, interruption impact, recovery effectiveness, and compensation preferences across engineering teams to benchmark workload and identify actionable improvements to reduce burnout.
View templateObservability Stack ROI Assessment
Measures perceived return on investment from logs, metrics, tracing, and monitoring tools across DevOps and SRE teams, identifying high-impact areas for investment and key barriers to value realization.
View templateDeveloper Latency Sensitivity & SLO Benchmarking Survey
Measures developer-perceived latency thresholds, tail-latency tolerance, and performance trade-off priorities by use case. Use it to benchmark acceptable response times, set data-informed SLOs and SLAs, and prioritize performance investments that align with what developers actually care about.
View templateIncident Response Postmortem & Communication Effectiveness Survey
Collects structured feedback from incident responders and stakeholders to evaluate response execution, communication quality, and accountability of follow-up actions. Use after any significant incident to identify process improvements.
View templateDeveloper Productivity & AI Tooling Adoption Survey
Measures developer productivity, AI coding tool adoption and barriers, code quality practices, and professional growth for engineering teams. Designed for 6–8 minute completion with branching logic for AI tool users vs. non-users.
View templateEdge Computing Reliability & Incident Response Benchmark
Benchmarks edge SLO/SLA maturity, failure handling patterns, and release safeguards for DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering teams managing edge workloads.
View templateDeveloper Documentation Experience Assessment
Measures documentation usability, findability, content clarity, and code accuracy based on a developer's recent session. Designed for DX and documentation teams seeking actionable feedback to prioritize improvements.
View templateDeveloper Documentation Findability & Navigation UX Survey
Evaluates how easily developers can find, navigate, and understand technical documentation. Measures discoverability, search quality, information architecture fit, and terminology clarity to prioritize documentation UX improvements.
