Version 2025.12

Increased digital asset tag limit (255 characters)

We've increased a digital asset tag limit from 30 characters to 255 characters. Tags must have unique names, be alphanumeric, and contain up to 255 characters. 

AI Reporting Agent: Rate the custom AI-powered report and give feedback

You can now rate a custom report created by the AI Reporting Agent, and enter your feedback (up to 1000 characters).

To rate a generated report and provide feedback:

1. In the Preview area, under Provide rating, select either the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon. A feedback panel is displayed. The contents of the panel depend on whether you have selected Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down rating. 

2. Select one or more checkboxes.

3. Under Provide details, enter your feedback (up to 1000 characters). 

4. Select Submit feedback. 

Live app testing

Manage expired mobile apps

We’ve updated up how the platform handles expired or missing apps, so messages are both clearer and more accurate.

• If the app exists and is expired, you’ll now see a clear Expired status.
• If the app can’t be found, the platform now returns a clean generic error instead of misidentifying it as expired.

This should make troubleshooting simpler and reduce confusion during uploads.

Multi-app upload support (Platform)

You can now work with multiple uploaded apps per digital asset without UI friction. On the dashboard, all apps are displayed, and if there are too many to fit, a scroll bar appears automatically. The card now uses a defined max height and aligns visually with the overview card, while on mobile, we show everything without clipping.

Additionally, on the Edit Digital Asset page, you’ll now see a simple Add App button — making it much easier to manage multiple versions or variants of your app.

Multi-app support in the platform (Start and resume)

Sessions now stay connected to the correct app every time. When starting or resuming a scan, the platform selects the right app associated with the session rather than defaulting to the first one available.

We also added some small guardrails that make a big difference:

• Only one session can be active at a time.
• If a session is in progress, you’ll see Resume, not Start.
• The sessions table now clearly shows the active session.

These improvements should make testing with multiple apps far more predictable and intuitive.

Custom severities in live app testing

Custom severities are now shown in scan results for live app testing, ensuring the same prioritization you use across the platform.

• Shows only if the organization has custom severities enabled.
• It falls back to standard severities when not available.

Bull dashboard integration for device API

We’ve moved device API management to a bull dashboard to streamline operations and reduce maintenance overhead. This dashboard is accessible only through a hidden, permission-restricted URL and is strictly for internal authorized users.

This gives us better visibility and diagnostic capability without exposing new UI elements to general users.

MCP Server

We enabled IDE connectivity to MCP services with platform API authentication, providing integrated access to accessibility issue data and improving remediation efficiency.

Pako script injection mitigation

We resolved an issue where an unused dependency triggered unintended script injection in Node.js test environments such as JSDOM when a document object was present. We’ve added safeguards to ensure scripts load only in real browser contexts, improving security and stability without impacting product functionality.

Version 2025.11

AI Reporting Agent: Enhanced report customization for AI-powered custom reports

You can now generate more targeted, relevant, and efficient reports, with new filtering capabilities added to our AI Reporting Agent:

• Data-level filters: Focus reports on a specific workspace or digital asset.
• Source filters: Select data from manual evaluations, automated scans, or both.

For details, go to Ask AI Reporting Agent to create custom reports. 

New way to rate answers in Ask Level AI: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down

You can now rate responses from the Ask Level AI chatbot using the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon. Previously, ratings were given using a star system (1 to 5 stars) to indicate how helpful an answer was.

To rate an answer:

• Under Provide rating, select either the Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down icon. You can click the icon, or select it and press the Enter or Space key. The following message is displayed: “Thanks, your rating has been submitted.”  

API token management for digital asset users

Digital asset users with the API Token Manager role can now:

• Create API tokens for these digital assets
• View and revoke their own API tokens
• Manage keys without requiring the Organization admin or Workspace Admin privileges

API tokens created or managed by these users are automatically restricted to digital assets they’re authorized to access. 

API Token expiry notifications

Platform users that manage API integrations will now receive timely notifications about API token expiry.

• Notifications are sent three times: 15 and 7 days before token expiry, and on the day of expiry (final notification).
• They contain token name, expiry date, and a link to the API token management page.
• They are delivered by email (to the user’s configured address)
• Final expiry notifications informs the user the token has expired and provides instructions to renew or replace the token.

Ability to download the LevelDocs installers from the platform

If your organization has purchased a LevelDocs license, you can now download the LevelDocs installers directly from the Level Access Platform. Log in to the LA Platform, from Control hub, select Tools and integrations, go to Tools & extensions, and locate LevelDocs. Download the installer, save it to your local machine, and run it. Open the application for which you installed the add-in, and verify that the LevelDocs option appears in the ribbon. 

All successful downloads are logged for audit purposes. For details, refer to Installing and activating LevelDocs.

Version 2025.10

Support for OAuth 2.0 authentication for Jira Data Center 8.22 and later

We now support OAuth 2.0 for connections between the platform projects and the Jira Data Center (on-premise) versions 8.22 and later. OAuth 1.0 remains supported for earlier Jira Data Center versions. The feature is available for the following packages: 

• Accelerate and Enterprise

• Essentials with Issue Tracking Integrations add-on

Beta: Intelligent AI filtering of automated findings

To support focused, goal-driven remediation, we’ve introduced an AI Filter field with the prompt: “What are you looking to prioritize?” Use it to narrow down a broad list of findings into a targeted, actionable view. Simply enter your remediation goal or question in plain English, and let the AI filter guide you to what matters most. This reduces manual triaging and accelerates remediation of findings, by helping you to quickly identify what to fix first. Note that AI-generated filters are fully visible and editable. We retain only the latest filters and do not keep history of previous inputs.

To apply AI filtering to automated findings:

1. Go to Digital Asset page, select an asset, and then the Findings tab.
2. In the AI filter field, enter what you’re looking to prioritize (your remediation goal or question).
3. Select the Filter with AI button. The platform presents the results.

Enterprise package users have Beta access. If you do not have Enterprise package and would like to participate, contact your Customer Success Manager. 

Improved Ask Level AI user interface for smoother chat sessions

When starting a new chat, users see three suggested questions (AI prompts). Now, when a user selects a question, the Ask Level AI chatbot:

• Submits the question instantly.
• Removes the other two suggestions (AI prompts).

 This update helps users to focus on a chosen query and keeps the user interface clean. 

AI Reporting Agent: Executive-Ready Reports, Instantly

We’ve expanded our suite of AI-powered features with the new AI Reporting Agent. The agent generates executive-ready reports directly within the platform—no downloads or data work required. The agent can answer the following pre-defined reporting questions:

• What progress has been made? (Resolved findings)
• What opportunities remain? (Unresolved findings)

Resulting reports pertain to both manual and automated findings, and can have up to 12 snapshots. This feature is available only for the Enterprise package.

Common Findings now generally available in the Enterprise Package

The Common Findings feature is now generally available, for the Enterprise package users. Common Findings leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to intelligently group recurring issues across all the digital assets in your entire organization. This intelligent grouping significantly reduces the time it takes to consolidate, sort through, and prioritize findings that affect multiple digital assets by collapsing all your data into a single report.

Streamlined list of digital asset types

We’ve simplified the list of available digital asset types, and made the following changes:

• Removed: Website (mobile responsive) and Website (non-mobile) options. 
• Retained: Website

All existing digital assets previously categorized as Website (mobile responsive) or Website (non-mobile) are now marked as Website.

A11y testing

Web: Manual evaluations flagging and reviews

We’ve introduced manual evaluations flagging and reviews, a new capability that allows internal staff to flag findings and add confidential comments directly within the platform and the Level Access browser extension.

This update:

• Centralizes review actions in one place, removing the need for offline spreadsheets.
• Reduces errors and prevents context loss during review cycles.
• Streamlines collaboration between testers, reviewers, and internal staff.
• Ensures all commentary remains internal-only, never visible to clients.
• Helps internal teams deliver higher-quality evaluation results, faster.

Web: Support for non-WCAG standards

We've added support for non-WCAG standards, including Section 508 (U.S.) and EN 301 549 (EU), in scans and monitoring. You can now select a standard in scan configuration and monitoring settings, and benefit from updated finding mapping to the most recent standard without duplication across standards.

Mobile: Streamlined views

We’ve streamlined the mobile testing workflow by introducing a unified Scans tab that consolidates all mobile testing activities into one cohesive view.

Now you can:

• Access both Mobile SDK scans and Live App Testing scans in one place.
• Upload apps directly from the Edit Digital Asset page and manage them through a new App Table.
• Stay informed with improved notifications when apps are uploaded.
• Easily distinguish scan methods with the redesigned Mobile Scans Table, featuring a new Scan Type column.

Platform services: WCAG known limitation

All scans published via the API—such as those from SDKs, the Continuum Scripting Framework, DCA, and similar sources—will default to WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.

Version 2025.09

Beta: Ask Level AI chatbot 

We've added a chatbot, Ask Level AI, to assist you with finding answers about accessibility or the Level Access Platform. To start a chat, select the Ask Level AI icon in the top right corner, and then either select one of the suggested prompts or type your question. Select Send, or press Enter, to display the answer. 

Rebranded user interface and documentation

We've updated our user interface and documentation to reflect our new brand identity. This includes our logo, favicon, and templates.

Easier access to Academy with the platform Single Sign-On (SSO)

We've provided a more convenient access to the Academy. After logging in, select Academy from the top navigation level. You will be directed to the Academy home page. 

Unified Jira Experience Across Cloud and Jira Data Center (Workflow Parity)

Jira Data Center now matches Jira Cloud in workflow capabilities, making integrations easier and faster—without any UI or workflow changes. Users can continue to connect to and edit Jira projects as before. We've made the following improvements:

• Assignee List: Loads reliably for On-Prem projects; users can select assignees successfully. 
• Required Fields: Platform displays required fields based on the project and issue type. 
• Webhook management (keeping tasks in syncs): When you create a new issue‑tracking connection to a Jira on‑prem project (or link a project that never had a connection), webhooks are created successfully, and the issue activity in Jira flows into the platform. You can view, manage and remove those webhooks when needed.

Note: Webhook updates for connections created before the 2025.09 (Istanbul) release are not auto-enabled. We do not support webhooks for existing LAP projects connected to self-hosted Jira instances.

• Impacted Personas: A11 Champions, Developers
• Impacted User Groups: Org Admins, Workspace Admins, Workspace Users
• Supported Versions: Jira Data Center 10.6+, 9.17+, and 8.4.3+

Manually selected standards now show the highest standard level and the correct Last Upload Date

When a user accesses the Evaluation Results, from either the Conformance or Report tab, the Standards dropdown is ordered by the highest standard level, in a descending order. For example, for an evaluation tested using WCAG 2.1 AA, the order is as follows:

• WCAG 2.1 AA
• WCAG 2.1 A

As well, if an evaluation does not include standard information, and you manually select a standard, and save the selection, the Last Upload Date remains unchanged.

Live app testing

• Concurrency limits are now device-specific. Users have 2 slots for virtual Android and 2 slots for virtual iOS, independent of each other.
• We’ve updated our terminology, changing “issues” to “findings” for consistency across the platform.
• We’ve added a new banner explaining availability:
• iOS .ipa app testing is only supported on real devices.
• iOS .app testing is only supported on virtual devices.
• We’ve added a warning message that appears before leaving a testing session.

Fixes

• We’ve resolved an issue where testing sessions were not closing properly.
• We’ve fixed broken screenshot display.
• We’ve improved error messages so they are clearer and help users understand what went wrong.
• Live App Testing is now officially included in the Essentials package.

Access engine 2.28

We’ve enhanced Access Engine to improve testing coverage and accuracy.

What’s new:

• Five new rules to expand automated testing.
• Refined existing rules to reduce false positives.
• Better checks for aria-controls, element names, headings, language elements, and parent-child relationships.

What to expect:

• Some scans may show more issues due to new rules.
• Many scans will show fewer issues with improved accuracy.
• Others may see no change if updates don’t apply.

August

Version 2025.08

Introducing Live App Testing: Easy accessibility testing for native mobile apps

Spot accessibility issues in your mobile apps without writing a single line of code. Live App Testing lets anyone test native Android and iOS apps on real or virtual devices, save results, and share findings instantly. 

To get started all you need is a digital asset created for your mobile app in the Level Access Platform (talk to your Account Manager about getting this setup today!). Once that's created, just upload a copy of your mobile app to the platform, select the real or virtual device you'd like to test on, and start scanning. 

Live App Testing tests using the same mobile first rule library that was originally created for the Mobile Testing SDK, giving you a consistent set of results wherever you test your mobile apps.

Read the full Live App Testing help centre article.

Assess organizational capacity and configuration from a single location

Organization Administrators can quickly review the current configuration and capacity of an organization, from a single, centralized location. You can view the name and description of the organization, package information, add-ons, and information on current usage versus available usage. For example, while the organization may be entitled to five digital assets, it might be using only three. The feature is available for all packages and members of the Organization Administrator user group. To display the organizational details and assess its capacity, from Control Hub, select Organization settings, and then Organization details. 

Level Access can now modify manually selected accessibility standards

In the previous release, we've added the ability to manually select accessibility standards to populate evaluation results. If you select an incorrect standard, you cannot modify it. However, you can now contact your Customer Success Manager or submit a Support request, and we can change the selection you made. 

July

Version 2025.07

Standard selection for the Conformance Score dashboard 

Some evaluations may not contain the specific accessibility standard they were tested with necessary for powering the manual audit Conformance Score. With this update you can now add that standard manually to generate a Conformance Score and update the corresponding content on the Report and Findings tab. 

Note: Once a standard is selected, it can't be changed.

To select an accessibility standard manually:

1. Go to Digital assets page, select a digital asset, and then Evaluations.
2. Select an evaluation for which the conformance score is Not Calculated. Note that Not Calculated is an indicator that the standard needs to be selected.
3. Select all the accessibility standards, and their applicable level, used in the testing. For example, select WCAG 2.1.
4. Select Save.

Managing issue-tracking connections from the Project page

We've updated the Project page to enable smoother management of issue-tracking connections for users with the Issue Tracking roles. The updates include:

• Clear connection status indicators in the project
• Ability to add or edit an issue tracking connection directly from the project
• Real-time updates as the connection changes 

To add or edit issue-tracking connections:

• Go to Projects/tasks. Find the project you want to open, select View project, and then, depending on whether issue tracking has been configured previously, select either Connect issue tracking or Edit issue tracking. Make the relevant choices, and select Set connection.  

Secure HMAC webhook authentication 

To enhance security, we've introduced Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) for webhook authentication. This mode uses a combination of a hash function and a secret key to verify data integrity and authenticity—without requiring the API client to send the actual secret. This helps protect against sniffing and other interception-based attacks. When creating a webhook, under Webhook authentication mode, select HMAC (Shared Secret). For details, go to Configure webhooks.

Platform navigation refinement

In our previous release we introduced the navigation switcher to make navigating the platform faster and more clear. In this release we've making a number of improvements to the navigation switcher based on feedback from our users! 

The navigation switcher now features a "Recent digital assets" list for faster switching between commonly visited assets, remembers the user's last logged-in page, sorts all assets alphabetically for faster browsing in a long list, adds new display icons for digital asset types, and a number of other design improvements.  

• Easier access to recently visited digital assets: We’ve introduced the Recent digital assets section, just below the search bar of the navigation switcher. This section displays the last three digital assets that you accessed, making it quicker to jump back to something you were working on. The currently active digital asset is excluded from the list. The section is hidden if there’s no recent history. To return to a digital asset of your choice, simply click its name in the Recent digital assets list.
   
• Displaying last-visited location when you log in: Level Access Platform reopens the last location you visited in the platform. You can resume your work without manually retracing previous navigation steps. If you are logging in for the first time, and have no history of prior visits,  you'll be redirected to the default landing page defined for your role and access level. For example, you can land on the Program Dashboard, Workspace Dashboard, or Digital Asset Overview page. Similarly, if the last visited location was deleted or you no longer have access to it, you'll be redirected to the default landing page for your role.
   
• New Digital asset icons in the switcher: We’ve added distinct icons to help you quickly identify different types of digital assets in the switcher. These icons visually represent Wireframe, Hardware, and Other asset types. This update makes it easier to scan and select the assets you need at a glance.
• Alphabetical sorting of digital assets in the switcher: Digital assets listed in the hierarchy tree  are now listed alphabetically (A-Z) by their names. Sorting is case-insensitive.

• New position of the Switcher button in the top navigation bar: The Switcher button now appears to the right of the company logo and to the left of the breadcrumbs component. 
   
• Switcher title is now displayed next to its icon: Place the mouse cursor on the icon, and the title Switcher is displayed. This change supports a consistent and visually clear user experience. 

Terminology updates to navigation labels, page headings, and tab titles

We made the following changes:

• Navigation labels:
  • Changed Product Support to Product support (sentence case). Changed Help Center to Help center (sentence case).
  • In the Request a service dropdown, renamed Digital asset Evaluation to Manual evaluation.
  • In the Control Hub dropdown, renamed Evaluations to Manual evaluations.
• Page headings and tab titles updates
  • On the Evaluations tab of a digital asset, updated the page heading and browser tab title to Manual evaluations.
  • Removed all references to  Digital asset Evaluation(s).
  • When navigating via Control Hub  to Manual evaluations, renamed tab heading, page heading, and browser tab title to Manual evaluations.
• Create/Edit/Upload page terminology: We now refer to evaluations as manual evaluations, when we create, edit, or upload them. Multiple changes were made in the user interface, to reflect these terminology updates.

Beta: Live app testing

Full-screen testing layout

Sessions now launch in a blank screen with no top navigation. This new layout provides a focused space for emulator interaction and improves the overall testing experience.

Simplified severity levels
We’ve streamlined report severity levels to Critical, High, and Low, and removed Moderate and Minor tiers for sharper clarity.

Branding update for continuous accessibility
Fresh logo and updated branding now appear across the UI, docs, tooltips, alt text, and emails.

June

Version 2025.06

Beta: Common Findings

Beta version of the Common Findings feature is now available for the Enterprise package. Common Findings leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to intelligently group recurring issues across all the digital assets in your entire organization. This intelligent grouping significantly reduces the time it takes to consolidate, sort through, and prioritize findings that affect multiple digital assets by collapsing all your data into a single report.

The Conformance Score for manual audits

Achieve accessibility goals more effectively with the new conformance score for manual testing. This improved methodology enables you to align program goals with remediation efforts to help define a strategic path to score improvement.

Some evaluations might not contain the information about the accessibility standard they are based on. For such evaluations, you can now select the accessibility standards manually. This allows the platform to calculate their conformance score. 

AI Monitoring Summaries: Accelerate understanding to start work faster

Monitoring reports now include an AI-generated summary that highlights scope changes, resolved issues, regressions, and recommended actions—providing a clearer snapshot of accessibility progress across scans.

AI Audit Summaries: Advanced insights to help you prioritize and speed up remediation

You can use built-in AI prompts to interact with the platform and get concise, AI powered summaries of your uploaded manual evaluations. These summaries help you to identify what to fix first. Use them to move directly from interpretation of detected issues to their remediation. Focus on the most important issues from your manual evaluation, assess and prioritize them quickly and efficiently, and create relevant tasks directly in the platform. 

Digital asset findings: A unified view of all automated findings for an asset

You can now access a consolidated view of all automated findings for a selected digital asset with digital asset findings. Review the findings in a single location, filter them based on a set of criteria, prioritize them, and start remediating them directly in the platform. To review all findings for a digital asset, go to the digital assets page, select an asset, and then select the Findings tab. The feature applies to all monitors and scans regardless of the rule or page for an asset. 

Platform navigation updates

Based directly on feedback from our users, our team has created an all new navigation design aimed at making it easier to understand the different levels of your workspace, easier to navigate between different pages of the application, and faster to get to the tools you need to start work sooner.

We've removed the digital asset selector and replaced it with the name of a digital asset you are viewing. This dropdown was used to switch between digital assets. You can now use breadcrumbs or the switcher to navigate the platform. 
 

Automated remediation in scan and monitoring results

Scan and monitoring results now show which findings are eligible for automated remediation, along with a preview of potential score improvements and reduced finding counts based on automated remediation availability.

Expanded user flow limits

Clients who were previously restricted to three automated flows can now set up as many flows as needed.

Beta: Live Device Testing

Mobile testing now defaults to real devices for faster, more responsive sessions and near real-time interaction. iOS apps continue to run on virtual devices. Device availability is determined as part of the beta process.

Expanded device selection for mobile testing

Mobile testing now allows users to select from multiple real and virtual device/OS combinations. Device selection is available within the test session setup.

May

Version 2025.05

Alpha: Common findings

Common Findings groups repeated accessibility issues across your organization into a single entry, helping you identify high-impact problems and fix them at scale with less manual effort.

Alpha: Automated remediation in scan results

Scan results now show which findings are eligible for automated remediation, along with a preview of potential score improvements and reduced finding counts based on automated remediation availability.

Mobile testing SDK

You can now use the Mobile Testing SDK to run accessibility tests directly within your mobile apps. This helps you catch issues earlier in development and ensure a more accessible mobile experience.

Breadcrumbs and navigation switcher

We’ve improved navigation with a hierarchical tree, persistent search, responsive design, and icon-supported breadcrumbs to make it easier to move between workspaces and digital assets.

Asana projects board

We’ve optimized the Asana integration to support large organizations by dynamically loading project lists, preventing timeouts and UI freezes when connecting Platform Projects to Asana.

April

Version 2025.04

Design evaluation export now includes a status column

The CSV export from design evaluations now includes a new “Status” column, giving more visibility into each item’s progress.

Track page-level results with updated Scan API and Webhook enhancements

API

The Scan API now includes enriched page details, such as page-specific scores and findings, for better analysis. Webhooks triggered on scan completion now include associated tags, providing clearer context like:

[workspaceName] - [dpName] scan result for [scanTitle] is complete. [Tag1] [Tag2] [Tag3]

Webhook

When a Scan Completed webhook event is triggered, and the associated digital asset has tags, the notification now includes those tags for added context, such as:

[workspaceName] - [dpName] scan result for [scanTitle] is complete. [Tag1] [Tag2] [Tag3]

Simplified organization limit configuration for better setup

Organization setup is now easier with a unified input for resource limits.

New organizations see default package limits pre-filled, while existing ones see current values. Inputs now follow defined maximums:

• 10,000 monitored pages
• 500 Academy seats
• 50,000 PDF pages

Bug fixes

We’ve fixed an issue that caused conformance scores to be based on inconsistent criteria. Existing scores may adjust to reflect accurate calculations aligned with the selected standard, version and level.

Note: There is a known bug where conformance scores may not appear for evaluations created in Access Assistant due to a current limitation. We’re working on a fix to restore score visibility.

Known limitation: DCA not working reliably with all PC and browsers configurations

Depending on your PC and browser configuration, DCA might not be working as intended. Our team is working to resolve the issue.

March

Version 2025.03

Improved API support for historical reporting

Developers can now take advantage of the enhanced digital property and scan API suite. The API enhancements allow developers to:

• Get comparative scan data: Using GET /api/v1/public/digital-properties/:digitalPropertyId/metrics, you can pull metrics to make data-driven decisions and support custom reporting with improved usability.
• Add a “skip” parameter: Using GET /api/v1/public/digital-properties/:digitalPropertyId/metrics?skip=<skipAmount>&limit=<limitAmount>, you can get data in smaller and targeted chunks while improving response time.
• Tag digital assets: Digital asset tags support precise data filtering and management with the Digital Property API using internal indexes (unique IDs). You can add up to 10 tags to a single digital asset and use the tags across different assets, enhancing the platform integration with your systems for fast and accurate data retrieval.

You can now push tasks to issue tracking software from the Task details page

Experience improved workflows with the ability to push tasks to your issue tracking software directly from the Task details page. This new option improves navigation efficiency and streamlines usage for issue tracking integrations.

Projects now show workspace name instead of digital asset name

Project details now show the workspace name instead of the digital asset name. This change aligns projects with their position in the platform hierarchy.

Website/app is now digital asset!

Website/app is now digital asset! This change simplifies the platform experience, making it easier to access and navigate key features more efficiently.

Access Engine v2.27 now delivers more consistent results

Enjoy more accurate scores with updates that resolve result inconsistencies and past escalations. All future scans will reflect these improvements, with a slight score boost for all digital assets.

Automate pre-scan steps to streamline scanning and monitoring

Improve scan success by automating steps like dismissing pop-ups or logging in before a scan starts. Pre-scan flows help scanners access content smoothly by completing required actions during monitoring or advanced scan setup.

Record automated flows with the browser extension

Easily capture full or pre-scan flows using the browser extension and send them directly to the platform—saving time and minimizing manual errors.

Non-WCAG Standards are now supported for Android and iOS manual evaluations

The Test Accelerator now supports non-WCAG standards (Section 508, EN 301 549) for manual evaluations on Android and iOS. Testers and customers with the Manual Testing add-on can select multiple standards, generate compliance reports, and use updated rule libraries and test guides.

February

Version 2025.02

You can now configure monitoring to include iframes

You can now include iframes in your monitoring scans! To include iframes in your monitoring scans, select Include iframes in your monitoring settings. Any accessibility issues that are from iframes will say “This finding was discovered in an iframe”.

Historical monitoring exports now include number of resolved findings

Track the history of resolved findings in your monitoring history report. The “Resolved findings since the last scan” column shows the number of fixed and/or dismissed findings since the previous previous monitoring scan. Use resolved findings to:

• Monitor progress over time.
• Effectively communicate achievements and progress.
• Pinpoint the date when an issues introduced.

Note:

• The value doesn’t include resolved findings from on-demand scans, the browser extension, SDKs, or APIs.
• Resolved finding data is available February 21st, 2025, onward. Retroactive data is not available.
• If you change your monitoring test engine, resolved findings won’t be available for the next monitoring scan. The rules and associated findings vary by testing engine, which impacts the number of resolved findings.

Beta: Mobile accessibility tester

Testing results

Emulator scans now capture both successful and errored tests, and result notifications include more screen details. You can remove testing results, view individual test results and findings, and quickly find what you need with new search and filter options. We also fixed an issue where some elements were missing from emulator scan results, and “Scan results” is now called “Testing results” for clarity.

UI enhancements

iOS device and app details from Appium now sync with the platform automatically. We’ve also improved error handling, making session timeouts and action failures smoother.

Bug fixes

We fixed duplicate headers in mobile emulator testing and resolved UI stretching issues caused by screen orientation lock.
