Everything you need to write about Testaroo accurately: boilerplate you can paste, the numbers behind the library, the brand files we actually ship, and the naming rules we care about. Questions or an interview request go to examples@novusstreamsolutions.com.

One line
Testaroo is a free library of purpose-built, downloadable example and test files with documented properties and practical creation tools.
Short paragraph
Testaroo is a free library of purpose-built example and test files for developers, QA engineers, and anyone evaluating file tooling. The examples are purpose-built rather than scraped from the web, with documented profiles and, where useful, paired counterparts for before-and-after testing. The library also includes editable visual and document templates, live form and accessibility target pages, and browser-based creation tools. Generation runs locally without uploading the output. Every file is free for any use with no attribution required. Testaroo is a project of Novus Stream Solutions.
Long version
Testaroo exists because “sample file” sites hand you a mystery. A PDF with no stated structure, an image with no recorded noise level, a CSV whose quirks you discover when your importer breaks. Testaroo documents each example's test profile, including properties such as noise level, silence timestamps, form fields, encodings and line endings. Related examples are linked as pairs: clean and noisy, colour and greyscale, source and scanned. Beyond fixtures, the site publishes editable visual and document templates, downloadable and live form examples, live accessibility and scraper target pages, and browser-based creation workspaces. The catalog is free to use without signing in; optional accounts support saved work. Browser generation runs locally, with no output upload. The site has no paywall and is funded by advertising. Testaroo is a project of Novus Stream Solutions, based in London, Ontario, Canada.
Naming
- The product is Testaroo, one word, capital T only. Not “TestAroo”, not “Test-aroo”, not “testaroo” outside the domain name.
- The installed-app short name is also Testaroo.
- Testaroo was called Novus Examples until September 2026. If you are updating an older article, the new name and domain replace the old ones; nothing else about the library changed.
- The company is Novus Stream Solutions, written in full on first mention.
- The domain is
testaroo.com. Link to it rather than deep-linking a fixture whose URL you have not checked: although published file URLs are permanent by policy and are never renamed once shipped.
The mark
The mark is a test page whose check mark hops off its edge: a file that passed. On the app icon it sits on a navy tile; in the site header it stands on its own so it works on light and dark backgrounds. Download the self-contained lockup or standalone mark below instead of recreating it from live text.
Do not recolour the mark, stretch it, add effects to it, or place it on a background that drops its contrast. Do not use the mark in a way that implies Novus Stream Solutions endorses your product or article.

What you may and may not use
The two halves of this site carry different terms, and press coverage usually touches both:
- The example files are free for any use, with no attribution required. Screenshot them, embed them, redistribute them, use them in a commercial article. See the license.
- The site design, source code, branding, and trademarks are not. They remain the property of Novus Stream Solutions. You may use the icons above and screenshots of the site to illustrate an article about Testaroo; you may not use them as your own branding or to suggest an endorsement.
- Files are provided as-is, without warranty, and some are intentionally corrupt for error-handling tests: worth a sentence if your piece recommends downloading anything.
What we cannot supply
There are no executive headshots, no office photography, no vector logo pack, and no funding or headcount figures to share, this is a small, self-funded project rather than a company with a comms function. If you need something specific, ask and we will tell you honestly whether it exists.
