Low Code Automation in App Accessibility

Review accessibility reports for your App Low Code Automation tests and start new tests from the App Accessibility dashboard.

With the BrowserStack App Accessibility integration, you can create tests in App Low Code Automation without scripting or an SDK, and generate accessibility reports from those tests. Run the same test multiple times or on a schedule. Each run scans every screen the tests visit and produces a report, so repeat checks stay consistent without doing them manually.
The reports appear under Low Code Automation in the App Accessibility dashboard. You can review issues, raise bugs, and track how your app’s accessibility changes over time.

Prerequisites

• Access to App Low Code Automation, with your app uploaded to your project. For more information, see Upload apps in App Low Code Automation.

Report limits during beta

How many reports you can generate depends on your subscription plans for both products. If you are on a free trial of one product, that product sets the limit:

Add accessibility scanning to your App Low Code Automation tests

To set up a test suite that produces accessibility reports, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the App Accessibility dashboard.
2. In the left navigation pane, select Low Code Automation.
   
3. On the Low Code Automation page in the App Accessibility dashboard, do one of the following:
   • If you are setting up the test suite for the first time, click Start testing on the feature introduction card. The Tests page opens on the App Low Code Automation dashboard. To create tests, see Create tests using App Low Code Automation.
   • If you are setting up a new test suite, select your project from the dropdown menu (annotation 1) and click New test (annotation 3). The Tests page for the selected project opens on the App Low Code Automation dashboard. To create tests, see Create tests using App Low Code Automation.
   • If you want to work on test suites you have already configured, select your project from the dropdown menu (annotation 1) and click View test suites (annotation 2). The Test suites page opens on the App Low Code Automation dashboard. To manage test suites, see Test suites.

   

4. On the App Low Code Automation dashboard, click Test suites in the left navigation pane.
   
5. Click the More options (three dots) icon next to the test suite you want to configure, then click Edit.
   
6. On the Edit test suite page, turn on Accessibility testing for the test suite. For detailed steps to configure the other settings on this page, such as the platform configurations and the schedule, see Test suites.
   
7. Configure the accessibility scan settings:
   • If your organization has already set an App Accessibility scan configuration, the suite inherits that configuration. The settings are read-only. To change which rules run, see Rule engine configuration.
   • If your organization has not set an App Accessibility scan configuration, choose the Accessibility Standard and the Rules, then set the Needs Review, Best practices, and Experimental rules toggles. These settings apply to that test suite only.
8. Click Save changes, then run the test suite on demand or on a schedule.

App Accessibility scans every screen the tests visit and produces a report for each platform the suite covers.
