Generate 100+ Dummy Data Responses

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to have a button generate 100+ dummy data responses for me to check over the skip logic and survey structure? Right now, I would have to test the survey 10+ times manually and then check over the data after. This takes hours depending on the length of the survey.

can anyone build this? Every other platform like Qualtrics, Surveypro are able to generate responses automatically. This would increase LimeSurvey functionality .

If you are willing to sponsor it, there will probably be someone who would build it.

You need to consider that Qualtrics and SurveyPro probably employ a "couple" more developers than the open source project Limesurvey does. Resources are always limited and I don't think that this feature will be on the top of the to-do-list any time soon without sponsor.

And: I think you still have to do thorough manual testing. These dummy data generators can only cover parts of the testing process.

Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
