French term or phrase: test en bureau
Talking about the final pilot run of a survey.

"Après de nouvelles modifications du questionnaire, le questionnaire a été une dernière fois testé en Alsace et Poitou-Charentes lors de la répétition générale (test en bureau) de l’enquête Emploi en octobre 20**."

Is "test en bureau" qualifying the pilot run? Does anyone know if there is a specific term for this, as opposed to a literal translation?

Many thanks

Example sentence(s):
  • Tests can be desk-based, partial recovery or full recovery.
  • One of the most difficult aspects of big system design is the creation of desk-based test data. The point we are making is that the best data of all is to go out to real farmers.
