We present techniques of a posteriori error estimation for $Q_1$ finite element discretizations based on residual evaluations with respect to test functions of higher-order. This technique is designed for quadrilateral (or hexahedral) triangulations and gives local error indicators in terms of nodal contributions. We show reliability and efficiency of the estimator. Moreover, we present a simplification which is attractive from computational point of view as well.
