Kilotest

Ensemble testing

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

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

Choosing among the many automated rule engines is hard, because they vary in what and how they test.

Ensemble testing, instead of choosing only one, combines multiple rule engines. It can discover more issues than single-rule-engine testing, and the rule engines can check one another’s quality.

The rule engines

The Kilotest ensemble is 10 rule engines developed by teams in the USA, Canada, Denmark, Australia, and Portugal.

The rule engines perform about 1,300 tests in total. Open-source software developed initially at CVS Health drives the rule engines, tries to weed out invalid results, and distills the findings into about 350 issues.

Features

With Kilotest, you can get results of already performed tests and propose web pages for testing. (Immediate testing on request may become available in a future version.)
