About

Dummy Run is open source under the Apache-2.0 licence. It is also the name of the organisation that publishes it. Joel Merrick founded it. His site is joelmerrick.co.uk.

Why it exists

Barriers in an app are cheaper to fix before release. Dummy Run lets AI personas use a real app read-only to find them early. It does not replace testing with disabled people. Ethics and limits explains what a persona can and cannot tell you.

How it works describes a run from start to finish.
