Qualified Intelligence Mystery Shopper: QI MS
In these cases tests are carried out by test shoppers similar to a trained interrogator. This means that one test shopper can carry out more test shoppings (10-20-30 etc.). The advantage of the method is the lower cost than that of the Virgin Eye method, although no subjective element can be examined with this process as the experiences of the numerous test shoppings are mixed. This way unreal impressions are created which means we cannot refer to normal shopping situations.
