The objective through this article is to describe a procedure that contributes with quality survey estimations by means pre-analysis survey and estimations by means post-adjustment. The estimations are given by the chi-square test of the quadratic form of misclosures, the chi-square of the quadratic form of residuals from the least-squares adjustment method, the Baarda's data snooping test, the standard ellipse, the confidence ellipse, position error circle and mean error circle. These concepts are examined through the numerical values provided in the case of a simple topographical traverse which was implanted at the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria Campus with electronic tachymeter.
