Chapter 3 kolmogorovsmirnov tests there are many situations where experimenters need to know what is the distribution of the population of their interest. Minitab help says, the kolmogorovsmirnov test has lesser power than andersondarling. The kolmogorovsmirnov or ks test is applicable to unbinned distributions that are functions of a single independent variable, that is, to data sets where each data point can be associated with a single number lifetime of each lightbulb when it burns out, or declination of each star. The kolmogorovsmirnov test is constructed as a statistical hypothesis test.
