Questionnaire: Evaluating development frameworks

About the study

We're studying what things are important for you when evaluating whether a development framework is suitable for your needs.

Answering the questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes. You'll be asked to view a short video of a concept and answer questions based on it.

How we handle questionnaire data
If you choose not to leave your email, your answers will be anonymous. Your answers will be used by the development team in developing a better experience for evaluating Qt framework.

If you select the option to participate in a further discussion session about the evaluation experience, we will ask your e-mail for setting up a suitable time for the discussion. This links your answers with your e-mail for the development team, but the test results will be reported anonymously.

Your data will be handled according to Qt Privacy Policy: https://www.qt.io/terms-conditions/privacy-policy
