!! Introduction
Knowledge engineering with KnowWE is supported by a continuous integration framework, that allows to embed automated tests on the knowledge. These tests are executed on regular bases (triggers can be configured) and in case of failure the users are alerted. An overview about the history and the testing results in provided on a dashboard. This allows for a safe development process. The use of the existing CI features is described [here|Doc CIDashboard]

!! Create new tests
KnowWE provides an extension point to add new CITests, called ''CITest''. To create an extension of this kind the class [AbstractTest|https://isci.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/javadoc/d3web/de/d3web/testing/AbstractTest.html] which is an abstract implementation of the interface [AbstractTest|https://isci.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/javadoc/d3web/de/d3web/testing/Test.html] should be implemented.
