violation of the normality assumption/assumption of normality

Kolmogornov-Smirnov is a statistical test that can be used for, among other things, testing whether a set of observations could reasonably have come from a normal (Gaussian) distribution, i.e., for testing the assumption of normality.
Example sentence:

from wikipedia link below: In the special case of testing for normality of the distribution, samples are standardized and compared with a standard normal distribution.
