Workflow Analyzer reports

A visual representation along with a detailed summary of a test run using the Workflow Analyzer.

After each Workflow Analyzer run, an accessibility report is generated. The accessibility report contains details such as the issue summary, affected components and pages, and the categories of the issues. You can also view the issue type, violated WCAG guidelines, and recommendations on how to fix the issues.

You can view the reports in two ways:

• Individual test report: View the report of a Workflow Analyzer test run.
• Consolidated test report: Combine multiple test reports to view a consolidated test report. To know how to create a consolidated report, see Create a consolidated report.

View Workflow Analyzer test report

To view an individual accessibility test report:

1. Launch the Accessibility Testing dashboard.
2. In the navigation menu, click Workflow Analyzer. The Workflow Analyzer page lists all the accessibility test reports run using the Workflow analyzer.
3. In the list of reports, find the test report you want to view. You can search for a report by its name or the user who generated the report. You can also filter the list by the time of creation, user or team.
   
4. Click the report you want to view.
   The report contains two tabs: Summary and All issues.

   • Summary: It shows a visual summary of the accessibility test. You can view the issues identified broken down based on their severity, the affected components and pages, issue category, conformance summary, issues that need review, and issues that are hidden. The Conformance summary widget helps you understand the level of conformance of your website on a particular report against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(WCAG), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, European Accessibility Act (EAA), and RGAA (Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité) guidelines. You can switch between the tabs to view conformance according to each guideline.

   • All issues: It shows a list of issues grouped into components, along with the details that you can use to further analyze an issue.
     
     The All issues tab has two subtabs: Issue type and WCAG guidelines.

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

   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.

   

5. 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, including a snapshot of the webpage where the problematic component is clearly highlighted for easier identification. You can:
   • Hide or unhide specific issues.
   • Decide if items marked Potential issue are valid. When you make a decision, you can also choose to save it for future reports. See Bulk review potential issues to learn how to review potential issues in bulk.
     
     You can also save these preferences for future use. If you do, BrowserStack Accessibility Testing will automatically hide or unhide issues in the same component or related to the same rule in the future. It will also determine whether similar issues under Potential issue should be marked as issues or not.

To share the report, click Share link. A two-tab window appears.

To share the report internally with users who have a BrowserStack account, click Copy link on the Share report tab, and share the link as appropriate.
To share the report externally with users who do not have a BrowserStack account, enable public link on the Share via public link tab.
