Sammanfattning	Pilot-tested mobile experience sampling (mESM) is a data collection approach that combines smartphone-delivered, real-time self-report prompts — the Experience Sampling Method — with a structured pilot phase to validate the instrument, signal timing, burden level, and response quality before full deployment. The pilot phase is not optional decoration; it is the core quality gate that separates a rigorously validated mESM study from an ad hoc one.	A pilot-tested survey is a structured questionnaire that has been administered to a small, representative sample before the main data-collection phase. The purpose is to detect problems with wording, response options, skip logic, or timing, allowing the researcher to refine the instrument before it reaches the full sample. Pilot testing is not a separate research design; it is a quality-assurance step embedded within survey methodology that substantially reduces measurement error.
