Accessibility scan settings

Learn about the configurable settings for Accessibility scan.

Customize your Accessibility scan by adjusting advanced settings and enabling experimental rules. These options help you fine-tune your scan to better detect accessibility issues on your website.

Advance scan settings

Select a scan version from the list of available rules for your accessibility scan.

Toggle the following options based on your scan preferences:

• Include Needs Review issues – Include issues that need manual inspection to confirm their validity. When you decide whether an issue marked so is an issue or not, you also have the option to persist your choice for the future reports.
• Include Best Practices issues – Include issues that aren’t accessibility guideline violations but help improve the overall user experience.

Configure experimental rules settings

Experimental rules are rules that are still under evaluation but are available for users to improve the accessibility of their websites. Enabling experimental rules in your scans allows BrowserStack to flag accessibility issues associated with these rules.

Enable experimental rules for website scans

To include experimental rules in your scan, switch on Include Experimental Rules in Settings.

BrowserStack continuously enhances the Accessibility rule engine by introducing new experimental rules. Your feedback is invaluable in refining and improving the effectiveness of these experimental rules.

Experimental rules may still undergo adjustments and optimizations based on user feedback and ongoing testing. To disable the use of experimental rules for your organization, you can contact us.
