What Is A RoadTest?

Writing Your Entry Form

How to Write A Review

RoadTest FAQs

You must be an element14 member to apply for a RoadTest. Click here to register.

Thank you for your interest in applying for an element14 RoadTest.  The RoadTest application form requires some effort, planning, and strategy to complete. This document will give you some tips on how to write the RoadTest entry form so you have a better chance of being selected.

This article will walk you through the process of writing and completing the RoadTest entry form.

Once you have logged into the element14 Community, go to the RoadTest & Reviews group, which lists the RoadTests that are currently open for enrollment.

Click on a RoadTest that you would like to apply for. When the page loads, you will see the following on the righthand side of the page:

Click the enroll button, and the "e14 entry Form" will load. This is the form you must complete to apply to a specific RoadTest.

Instructions and Tips

1. Answer all questions. Incomplete entry forms are ineligible.

2. All questions highlighted with a red asterisk must be completed.

2. Describe Your Technical Background: Answer this question relative to the product(s) and describe what knowledge and experience you possess that makes you qualified to test this product.

3. Summarize Your Test Procedure

4. Upload a long-form, detailed test procedure using the Supplementary File feature of this form. This document MUST be in MS Word. 

5. At the bottom of the form, click the blue Publish/Update button. You will get a popup box indicating that your application entry form has been included in our application database.

Specific Instructions

1. image

Please provide your first and last name, which are required to ship a product to you. Please write your name as it appears in your element14 Community Profile. Please use the email address of your account.

2. image

Please provide your shipping address. We only ship to addresses that are listed in your element14 Community account. We do not ship to random addresses. We do not ship with instructions to leave outside house or apartment. If you have moved, please update your address listed in your element14 profile.

3. image

We would like to know your work status because it gives us an understanding of your availability to conduct the roadtest and publish a review.

If you are currently a RoadTester, all reviews must be posted before you are given another product to review. The element14 Community does not provide everything to conduct a RoadTest.

You need to have the resources (test equipment, soldering stations, electrical hardware) to conduct your testing.

You must agree to our terms and conditions.

THIS SECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A ROADTEST ENTRY FORM.

Both the RoadTest Program Manager and the sponsor place the most weight on the above questions. An applicant should be as detailed as possible when answering these questions. The most detailed answers tend to get the most attention. The uploaded test procedure should be written as a project plan/proposal.  If you do not provide a detailed test procedure, your entry form will be scored as ineligible.

    Hi, the examples seems to be very short. Are the winners texts really that short or are those just example of content? Can anyone help me? Thanks

    Go to the RoadTest group page that lists all the RoadTests. Click on a specific RoadTest. On the upper right will be a box. If it is enrolling, you will see a big ENROLL button. Click it.

    This is sound advice. Answer the questions in detail. Read posted reviews. Doing so will prepare you yo write an entry form application.

    Those are just examples. RoadTests are competitive. Thus, an entry form written will more detail will be more competitive than one that his a single sentence description.

    I just entered the R&S MXO4 Road-test but some of these text boxes did not show up or where labelled differently. I hope I am not penalized if I entered incomplete data or I missed something. If I am missing something I would be more than happy to fix it or fill in the missing information. 

    Also the link that explains the form I'm guessing links to here but I'm unsure as the link did not work. Hopefully that would be fixed for future users.

    Just a quick note about the comments. All the comments that are over 3 years old apply to our old application system. Hence, any answers are not relevant anymore since we are now on a new system which began in Nov 2021.
