Rating test

Java software for designing and carrying out listening tests

Copyright (c) 2003-2004 Marc Schröder.

This software allows scientists to carry out listening tests without having to write code. Instead, all settings can be written into an XML-based configuration file.

The following can be customised:

• The welcome text to be shown;
• the layout of the (one- or two-dimensional) rating scale;
• the labels at the edges of the rating scale;
• the stimuli to be shown or played;
• in the case of audio stimuli, whether they can be played repeatedly;
• whether to include a practice session before the actual test.

Examples are included, based on tests which I have carried out in my research.

Classical scale: Position one stimulus at a time


Comparison scale: Arrange several stimuli on a scale
