Business challenge
We have been working with iPsychTec since June 2018 on a new Java-based application we wrote from scratch that will allow conducting diagnostic behavioural questionnaires in a dynamic way.
The solution has to meet high non-functional requirements regarding, among others, performance. Our team is facing a really ambitious challenge, as the application is the basis of our client’s business.
51,000
participants in a 7-year research study
61
countries, 60 organisations and 3 business schools participated in the study
We are delighted to have been part of this revolutionary analytics solution including an adaptive questionnaire. We look forward to the next phase of development.
Future Processing understood our need, particularly as we embarked on developing a software application that would be groundbreaking in the area of behavioural analytics. They always delivered on time and within budget, with excellent support.
Solutions we delivered
The application will also bring the following benefits:
Fixed survey questions – always the same number of questions.
Currently, it takes 20 minutes to complete the survey.
Users always need to answer 60 questions for item response theory (IRT) part.
Further questions are selected based on users’ answers (dynamic adaptive item response).
It will take around 8 minutes less to complete the survey.
With the adaptive approach, users need to answer only from 15 to 30 questions.
