Kilotest

Ensemble testing

Kilotest does ensemble testing of web pages for accessibility, usability, and conformity to HTML standards.

Efficient testing first leverages automated tools and corrects the defects that they discover, then employs human testers.

Choosing an automated tool is hard, because they are numerous and vary in what and how they test.

Ensemble testing, instead of choosing a tool, combines multiple tools. It can discover more issues than single-tool testing, and the tools can check one another’s quality.

The tools

The Kilotest ensemble is 11 tools developed by teams in the USA, Canada, Denmark, Australia, and Portugal.

The tools perform more than a thousand tests in total. Open-source software developed initially at CVS Health drives the tools, tries to weed out invalid results, and distills the findings into about 300 issues.

Status

Kilotest is a proof of concept, launched in November 2025. Your suggestions, bug reports, and collaboration proposals are welcome! Post them on GitHub or email them to info@kilotest.com.

In the current version, users can get results of already performed tests and can recommend new tests. Kilotest managers can approve recommendations.
