Use Accessibility Toolkit on Live

Run Workflow analyzer and Assisted test directly in BrowserStack Live sessions without having to download the accessibility toolkit

To use Workflow analyzer or Assisted test, you have to download and install the accessibility toolkit browser extension. However, some organizations have security protocols that prohibit the downloading and installation of extensions.

If your organization has these protocols, you have the option to use the product with the Accessibility Toolkit on Live feature.

You won’t be required to download the extension. Instead, you can launch the extension in a Live session. Once launched, you are automatically logged in. Then, run Workflow analyzer and Assisted test there.

By default, this feature is disabled. If you want it enabled, contact support.

Once the feature is enabled, you can launch the extension on Live in multiple ways. One such way is through the Launch extension link on the sidebar of the dashboard.

Steps to use the Accessibility Toolkit

To use the toolkit on Live, follow these steps:

1. On the Accessibility Testing dashboard sidebar, click Launch extension.
   Alternatively, click the New test button on the top right corner of Manual test reports.
   A window appears with the available OS options.
2. Select the required OS, macOS or Windows, and then click Launch extension.
   For macOS, a Live session launches on Chrome on Mac Monterey . For Windows, a Live session launches on Chrome on Windows 11.
3. In the Live session, open the web page you want to test.
4. Access the toolkit from the Dev Tools.
   For details, see Launch BrowserStack Accessibility Toolkit.
5. Start testing.
