Run Workflow Analyzer on mobile browsers

Test your websites for accessibility issues interactively on mobile browsers using real Android devices on the BrowserStack cloud.

You can test a workflow on your website in the Chrome browser on a real Android device using Workflow Analyzer. Workflow Analyzer scans different states of a website as you traverse it and finds accessibility issues in real time.

Mobile browser testing in Workflow Analyzer is in Beta. It currently supports Chrome on Android devices only.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

  • A BrowserStack account with access to Accessibility Testing.
  • A publicly accessible URL for the page you want to test.

To scan a user workflow on a mobile browser, follow these steps:

On the Workflow Analyzer page of the Accessibility Testing dashboard, click New scan. Workflow Analyzer page with a list of workflow scans and the New scan button

Enter the URL of the page you want to test under Test on a remote device, For example, https://example.com/contact.

Under Mobile browsers, select the device you want to test on.
The device appears on the left and the Workflow Analyzer panel appears on the right. Start a new workflow scan screen with a page URL entered and a list of mobile and desktop browsers

In the Workflow Analyzer panel, configure the scan:

  • From the Accessibility standard drop-down, select the WCAG or RGAA version.
  • To include issues that need a manual review, switch on Include Potential issues.

  • To include issues that aren’t violations but affect user experience, switch on Include Best Practices issues.
