| Automated testing | Scanning | Scanning is accessibility testing done by computer automation. The platform scans your websites using four accessibility testing tools, each of which have their own unique rule library. The platform scans your website's code against the rule library and produces a list of potential accessibility issues called findings. |
| Manual testing | Evaluations | Evaluations are accessibility audits performed by real people. During evaluations, our testing team uses assistive technologies, like screen readers, to uncover accessibility issues. Evaluations best represents how people with disabilities use your website/app. |
| Macros | Automated flows | Automated flows are a set of steps and interactions taken by a user to achieve a goal. For example, searching for a product, adding the product to the basket, and proceeding through checkout. Each flow consists of a series of page states and actions that you can use in an advanced scan. The platform supports up to 100 pages and actions per automated flow and an unlimited number of automated flows. |

The Components feature allows you to identify and track design components with potential accessibility issues after running automated scans. Scanning design components gives you a different way to visualize issues and helps you prioritize remediation tasks. Pages is a page repository where you can add page states of your website, which you can use in automated flows. A page state is a page of your website in a given condition where the URL doesn't change. For example, on a webpage with tabs that use the same URL, each tab is it's own page state. |
| Violations | Findings | Findings are instances where rules are violated in scans or evaluations. The same rule can be violated more than once on a website/app, so you can have multiple findings from the same rule. Once you have findings, you can started your remediation. |
