2023 OBJECTIVES : Following your requests , we identified 6 main points for improvement on Tastelweb®.
Textual analysis
#1: Implementation on QDA (classic tests - descriptors with intensity scales) and on Napping (Map Profile).
As a reminder :
Tastelweb® makes it possible to process totally free expression!
Based on comments or, for example, defects or qualities requested in free text from the panelists, the frequencies of the most important qualifiers can be identified and calculated by product, almost automatically.
These results make it possible to describe and compare the products with each other in a completely open way, without these terms having been suggested beforehand to the panellists.
Profile Pivot©
#4: Bring additional information into the results.
1/ CFA : visualization of the significance of descriptors
2/ Improve the results in the case of different phases :
- to be able to filter first of all, during the extraction of the data (either on all the phases, or phase by phase), in order to be able to constitute specific dictionnaries by phase, if necessary.
- title the phase name in the results.
Classic Profile / QDA
#2: Better visualization of the evaluation form / questionnaire
1/ Names of limits or milestones not truncated
2/ Definition with an exact note scale for each limit
3/ Neutral wallpaper, replacing the one with the characters
4/ "Sample N°" optimization in "No..." uniquely
5/
Bolding
the number of the sample being evaluated
General
#5: Improvement of the database.
1/ An optimized search system (filters, sorts, query system).
It will be possible to query more easily product data, for example, what are the products of the same type, what is the number of tests carried out on such product, what associated descriptors or what are its other characteristics, for example :
- grape variety, vintage, ingredient, supplier, factory...
- pH, acidity, amino acids, sugars...
2/ The creation of a section dedicated to test models
3/ Suggested comments : saved in the database
Triangular
#3: Possible additional options :
1/ Inserting a matter of preference (optional)
2/ Addition of comments on the other 2 products (optional)
3/ Single product response directly given to the panelist (optional)
4/ Export of raw data in Excel format
General
#6: Other new features.
1/ Processed results : reports to Excel format !
2/ Products, descriptors : creation of a unique key UUID
- Unique, non-falsifiable key (respecting confidentiality)
- Possible modification of sample codes, labels
- Possible history tracking
- Panel performance : repeated products without the bias of the same code
3/ Project, brand : creation of these 2 concepts :
- a test can be linked to a project
- one sample to one brand
4/ New product presentation plans :
- Latin Square - Williams design
- optimal plans (Optimized Balanced Incomplete Block design)
5/ Evaluation sheet, questionnaire in paper version, printable
6/ Addition of panelists during the session
2023-2024 OBJECTIVES : to meet your new needs, new features and tests are being prepared by our IT team!
A new way to connect
#1: Saas & SSO connection (“Single Sign-On”)
Access to the Tastelweb® software will be simplified for users belonging to large companies.
This type of connection has the following advantages :
- The existence of an administrator in the company who will be able to manage the opening and closing of user accounts
- the access to a common workspace, with a common database
- SSO : as an option, a user can access several computer applications (including Tastelweb®) by simply
a single authentication.
new tests
#4: Quality & Product Compliance
This test will cover product conformity assessments realized on industrial sites ; today these tests are carried out by few people, on paper or Excel spreadsheets.
- Entries by ticks – Counting frequencies of occurrences
- Synthesis results possible by consent
new tests
#2: Ranking
Ask the panelists to make a classification of products, from best to worst, in general ; from the strongest to the weakest, on such and such a criterion...
This is currently possible through a QDA/classic profile.
The project would be
make it more immediate
the configuration and access to the results of this classification.
new tests
#5: Discriminative test - 2 out of 5
In the context of non-saturating products, this alternative test to the triangular test proves more robust decreasing the risk of finding the unique product by chance (10% Vs. 33%).
new tests
#3: The "Expert profile"
The Expert profile, as its name suggests, will allow to send more complete questionnaires to expert panelists.
There will be the possibility, for the same test, of mix descriptive profiles with intensity scales with various questions (open questions, multiple choice, cross tables, etc.).
new tests
#6: The Flash profile
This rapid test will complete the offer of our tests in Tastelweb®.
Main characteristics :
- free entry of discrimination axes
- entering ranks for each product on these axes
- graphic representations : PCA…
