Inconsistencies due to scan settings
Scans run with different WCAG versions, Advanced Rules, Best Practices, or Potential issue settings detect different issues, so counts differ.
Root cause and explanation
Changing scan settings for WCAG version, Advanced Rules, Best Practices, and Potential issue can impact issue detection. If multiple scans run with different settings, a difference in issue count is expected.
Affected products
All products in BrowserStack Accessibility Testing can show inconsistencies in issue count if you run scans with different settings.
These products are:
- Workflow Analyzer
- Website Scanner
- Automated tests
Remediation
Retry the scan to check whether the issue persists.
If the issue persists, follow these steps to avoid changes to issue count:
- Compare scan settings between runs to ensure consistency.
- For Website Scanner, check the local and authentication configurations too.
