  1. Novus Examples tutorial showing sample portraits with solid, busy, and hair-detail backgrounds being run through a background remover
    Use cases

    Test a background remover with the right sample images

    A background remover is only as good as the hardest image you test it on. This guide covers which sample images from Novus Examples genuinely stress a cutout (solid versus busy backgrounds, hair and edge detail, transparency and grayscale) and how to run them through the NSS Background Remover.

  2. Novus Examples reference showing transparent, grayscale, CMYK, tiny, oversized, zero-byte, and corrupt sample files with labels
    Use cases

    Sample file types explained: what each sample is for

    A reference for the sample variants in Novus Examples that are easy to misread: transparent versus opaque, grayscale versus color, CMYK versus sRGB, tiny versus oversized images, and the deliberate zero-byte, corrupt, and wrong-extension files built for error-handling tests.

  3. A clean and a noisy version of the same generated sample side by side, differing only in noise sigma
    Use cases

    Test with clean and noisy pairs

    Paired fixtures (clean and noisy, colour and greyscale, source and scanned) differ in exactly one property, which is what makes a before/after test mean something.

  4. The Novus Examples live targets index listing twelve pages, each isolating one browser behaviour
    Use cases

    Test against the twelve live targets

    Twelve live pages, each exhibiting exactly one behaviour (landmarks, nested modals, infinite scroll, cookie banners, frame nesting) for accessibility, scraper, and browser-automation testing.

  5. HTML form and AcroForm PDF fixtures with their field inventories listed alongside them
    Use cases

    Test forms with HTML and AcroForm fixtures

  6. Video test fixtures: a single clip fanned out across codecs, containers, streaming manifests, and caption files, with a degraded clip paired to its ground truth
    Use cases

    Test a video pipeline with the 401-file video set

    The video category grew from 70 files to 401, and the point of the expansion is that degraded clips now name the pristine clip they came from. This guide covers choosing codec, container, streaming, caption, and AI-video fixtures, and using the ground-truth pairing to turn "looks better" into a number.

  7. A stream overlay template downloading alongside a JSON scene collection, then importing into a broadcast scene above a capture placeholder
    Use cases

    Build an OBS scene from a broadcast template

    The 48 templates in the four broadcast categories each ship an OBS-compatible scene collection: a JSON file you import to get a scene already wired to the overlay you just downloaded. This guide covers downloading the pair, importing, and the one relink step OBS requires, and why it cannot be avoided.
