Kilotest

Orders testing of a page that has no report yet, with automated approval or rejection and immediate enqueueing if approved. Use this instead of requestNewTest when immediate testing is wanted; testing typically takes 2 to 4 minutes. Returns an order confirmation and disposition details, including, if approved, a report identifier and a question about whether to wait for completion with the awaitTest tool.

Orders a retest of a page whose existing report is considered obsolete, with automated approval or rejection and immediate enqueuing if approved. Use this instead of requestRetest when immediate retesting is wanted; testing typically takes 2 to 4 minutes. Returns an order confirmation and disposition details, including, if approved, a report identifier and a question about whether to wait for completion with the awaitTest tool.

Submits a request to add a new feature or improve an existing one; queued for manager review. There is no immediate-approval alternative for feature requests. Returns a request confirmation with disposition details.

Submits a request to test a page that has no report yet; queued for manager approval. Use orderNewTest instead for immediate, automatically approved testing. Returns a request confirmation with disposition details.

Submits a request to retest a page whose existing report is considered obsolete; queued for manager approval. Use orderRetest instead for immediate, automatically approved retesting. Returns a request confirmation with disposition details.

Waits for a job ordered via the orderNewTest or orderRetest tool to finish, using the report identifier either tool returned. Use this instead of polling listIssues when an immediate answer is preferred. Blocks until the report is ready, the job fails, or a maximum wait time elapses, sending no interim notices; returns the finished job’s status and, if ready, its report identifier.

Explains what Kilotest is, what its tools do, and how its results are structured. Use this before any other tool when the available tools or workflow are unclear. Returns a prose overview of the Kilotest domain, the tool workflow, and links to further documentation. Kilotest integrates an ensemble of 12 rule engines, with about 1,300 rules, to test web pages for front-end quality (accessibility, usability, and web standards, including HTML, CSS, ARIA, and WCAG). Each test job generates a standardized report describing which elements violated which rules and grouping the violations into about 380 issues. Kilotest can list the tested pages, the reports about each page, the issues in each report, the violators of each issue, and the diagnoses of each violation. Kilotest also accepts requests to test pages not yet tested and to retest already tested pages.

Retrieves one entire report as JSON, with all of its issues, violators, and diagnoses. Use this instead of drilling down through listIssues, listViolators, and listDiagnoses when the full report is needed in one call. Returns the complete report data for the specified report identifier. The size of the report is disclosed by the listIssues tool.

Lists the diagnoses that rule engines gave for how one element exhibited one issue in one report. Use this after listViolators to get details about the element as a violator of the issue. Returns, for each rule engine that reported a violation by the element of a rule belonging to the issue, the diagnosis given by the rule engine.

Lists the issues reported in one report, along with the history of all reports about the same page. Use this after listPages to switch to an earlier or later report or to begin examining this report. Returns the history and the basics about this report’s issues.

Lists all pages Kilotest has tested. Use this first to discover whether a page already has any reports before requesting a test. Returns, for each tested page, its description, URL, and the identifier of its latest available report.

Lists the elements of a tested page that were reported as exhibiting one issue in one report. Use this after listIssues to drill down from an issue to the elements violating rules belonging to that issue. Returns basics about each violating element.
