'''NTest'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.orbanova.com/nboard/|title=NBoard|website=www.orbanova.com|access-date=2017-08-22}}</ref> is a free Othello/Reversi program created by Chris Welty (not to be confused with the other computer scientist named Chris Welty who worked on the IBM Watson project).
NTest is a strong Othello program with a high-quality evaluation function and fast search algorithms. It has many features, with the most important one being the display of the search evaluation for all possible moves.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://othellogateway.com/ntest |title= Chris's Othello Stuff |website= Othello Gateway |url-status= dead |archive-date= Jan 9, 2007 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070109170329/http://othellogateway.com/ntest }}</ref> NTest is among the strongest programs in the world. It is able to do bitboard-based move generation and parallel searches on multiple CPU cores.
Other programs' opening books—such as Edax's book—can be used in NBoard, the GUI created by Chris Welty for NTest.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://abulmo.perso.neuf.fr/ |title= Othello Programming |work= Edax |url-status= dead |archive-date= Jan 7, 2013 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20130107032249/http://abulmo.perso.neuf.fr/ }}</ref>
