Yes , pilot test is possible in qualitative case study but test should be frame qualitatively.

I thank you Alok!

In qualitative research, a pilot test is typically conceived as a small-scale version of the full study that is conducted before the full study is carried out. The aim of the pilot study is to test and refine the research design, methods, and procedures, and to identify any potential challenges or issues that may arise during the full study.

To conduct a pilot study in qualitative research, the following steps can be taken:

1. Define the research questions: Clearly define the research questions that will guide the study.

2. Develop the research design: Develop a research design that outlines the methods and procedures that will be used to collect and analyze data.

3. Select participants: Identify a small group of participants who are representative of the population that will be studied in the full study.

4. Collect data: Use the selected methods and procedures to collect data from the pilot study participants.

5. Analyze data: Analyze the data collected from the pilot study participants to identify any potential issues or challenges and to refine the research design, methods, and procedures.

6. Refine research design: Use the insights gained from the pilot study to refine the research design, methods, and procedures for the full study.

7. Conduct full study: Use the refined research design, methods, and procedures to conduct the full study.

Overall, conducting a pilot study can help to ensure the success of the full study by identifying and addressing potential issues before they become major problems.

Prof. Feyisa, I thank you very much for your genuine reaction 🙏🙏🙏
