Una película pasa el Test de Bechdel-Wallace si cumple que 1) hay al menos dos mujeres en ella que 2) en algún momento hablan entre sí 3) acerca de algo que no es un hombre. Se cree que aproximadamente el 40 % de las películas actuales falla en el Test. A pesar del enorme potencial que tiene esta herramienta para hacer visible la desigualdad de género en el cine, no se ha desarrollado, desde su creación en 1985, una versión automática de la misma. Ese fue el propósito de este trabajo. El test desarrollado permitió, a través del análisis de los guiones del sitio imsdb.com, obtener evidencia de que la cantidad de películas que pasan el test es incluso menor a estimaciones previas. Además, este programa permite analizar grandes corpus de guiones en función del género cinematográfico.
