UX and usability survey questions

A UX questionnaire does not replace a usability test — it complements it and scales it. The test observes five users in depth; the questionnaire measures across hundreds what the test surfaced: perceived ease task by task, recurring frictions, the gap between what users accomplish and what they came to do. The golden rule: ask about behaviours and specific tasks, never about abstract interface opinions.

The generated outline draws on standardised instruments (SUS, UMUX): screening on recent usage, ease and confidence statements on consistent Likert scales, problem tasks as multiple choice, and open questions about the last friction encountered — phrased in the past tense and in context, to anchor the answer in lived experience rather than a general impression.

Frequently asked questions

What questions belong in a usability survey?
Questions anchored in real usage: “during your last session, did you accomplish what you came for?”, ease statements on Likert scales (SUS-inspired), tasks felt as difficult in multiple choice, and one open question about the last friction.
What is the SUS score and should I use it?
The System Usability Scale is a standardised 10-statement Likert instrument yielding a score out of 100, comparable across products and over time. If you are starting out, a short version inspired by its logic — what this tool generates — is plenty.
How many responses does a UX survey need?
About fifty per user segment gives clear trends on the scales; verbatims become redundant past 100. To pre-test the clarity of the questions themselves, a Panelia synthetic panel answers in minutes.
