Additionally, formative research has been increasingly used to develop new data collection instruments using psychometric procedures, including Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). Test-retest reliability testing can also be used as a type of formative research in the development of questionnaires, software applications that depend on self-report, and other measurement instruments.
