Automated tests page

Track all the accessibility reports generated by Automated tests.

The Automated tests page showcases all the reports generated by the automated tests in BrowserStack Accessibility Testing. This page groups the results of your automated accessibility reports into projects.

You can select a project and click a build to view automated test reports.

When you encounter an accessibility violation, click the issue to view more details. Click the specific component that has the accessibility issue to view additional information, which includes a snapshot of the webpage where the problematic component is clearly highlighted for easier identification.

Summary tab

The Summary tab is a collection of interactive graphs and widgets that detail the accessibility issues in your builds.

The following are the widgets in the Summary tab:

• Accessibility score: This metric provides an overall score representing the accessibility compliance level of your builds. The system calculates the score based on the number of issues found, their severity levels, and the total number of components scanned, giving you a quick way to track your accessibility progress over time.
• Issue summary: This donut chart classifies the accessibility issues in your builds according to their severity. You can view the number of issues that are Critical, Serious, Moderate, and Minor. This chart also includes a quick summary of the number of potential issues that need your review.

• Conformance summary: This widget helps you understand the level of conformance of your website on a particular report against the following standards:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Section 508
  • European Accessibility Act (EAA)
  • RGAA (Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité)

You can switch between the tabs to view conformance according to each guideline.

If you don’t find a guideline, you can click the drop down to view all available conformance guidelines.

• Issue trend: This bar chart illustrates the timeline of accessibility issues in your build runs, providing a clear visualization of the trend in the number of issues over time. Use this chart to easily assess whether the accessibility issues in your builds are on the rise or decline.
• Accessibility health summary: This donut chart provides a quick summary of the outcomes of automated accessibility tests, summarizing the counts of tests that passed, failed, or were skipped.
• Health history: This bar chart visually represents a timeline detailing the count of tests categorized as passing, failing, or skipped across various build runs.
• Affected components: This widget lists all the affected components that show accessibility issues. You can use this list to prioritize the components that cause the most number of accessibility issues.
• Issues by category: This widget lists the most common types of accessibility issues in your builds. You can use this widget to identify which type of accessibility issues impact your builds.
• Affected pages: This widget lists the URLs in your builds with the most number of accessibility issues. You can use this list to prioritize the pages that need the most attention.
• Potential issues: This widget shows the number of accessibility-related issues in your builds that need review. When you decide whether a flagged issue is valid or not, you can also choose to save your decision for future reports.

All issues tab

The All issues tab lists the de-duplicated version of accessibility issues across all test cases in your build by Issue type and WCAG guidelines.

The All issues tab has two sub tabs:

• Issue type
• WCAG guidelines

You can view issues by the type of issues or according to WCAG guidelines in the WCAG guidelines tab. Viewing issues by WCAG guidelines can be helpful in creating a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) report.

Source tests for duplicate issues

In the All issues tab, the Source test column shows the source tests only for the primary issue in each group.

To view the source tests for a specific duplicate:

1. Click View duplicates next to a primary issue.
2. Expand the duplicate issue to see its associated source tests.

You can ungroup a duplicate issue from the primary group if needed. For more information, refer to the Issue groups.

Issue type tab

The Issue type tab groups accessibility issues under Confirmed issues and Potential issues.

• Confirmed issues: are accessibility issues which BrowserStack Accessibility Testing can detect with 100% confidence.
• Potential issues: are more complicated cases in which case-specific nuances make it difficult for the tool to have 100% confidence in declaring it as an issue.

The issues classified under Confirmed issues also include a severity classification. You can expand a confirmed issue to further investigate and resolve the components with accessibility violations.

The issues tab also lists the number of confirmed issues and the number of potential issues right on top for easy tracking.

To review potential issues in bulk, see Bulk review potential issues.
