During the manual testing and evaluation process, our testing team assigns statuses to evaluation findings to show what stage of remediation the findings are in.
When a finding is linked with a task, the task status updates along with the finding status.

Evaluation finding statuses on the platform
Evaluation finding statuses are split into two groups: resolved and unresolved.
Resolved finding statuses
| Status | Description | Linked task status |
|---|---|---|
|
Fixed |
A fixed finding has been properly remediated and is no longer an issue. |
Done |
|
Not reproducible |
A finding that’s not reproducible can no longer be produced on the page. It’s likely that the website or app has been changed or updated and the finding is no longer relevant. |
Done |
|
Dismissed |
A finding marked as dismissed does not apply to your website or app, or is no longer considered an accessibility issue. |
Done |
Unresolved finding statuses
| Status | Description | Linked task status |
|---|---|---|
|
Open |
An open finding is a new finding that has not yet been re-tested by our team. Once you remediate an open finding and submit it for review, the status will be updated to one of the below options. |
N/A |
|
Partially fixed |
A partially fixed finding has either been partially resolved or the remediation efforts have introduced a new issue. |
Backlog/reopened |
|
Not fixed |
A finding marked as not fixed has not been properly remediated. |
Backlog/reopened |
|
Cannot be fixed |
A finding that cannot be fixed might be connected to your branding or a third-party vendor. In other words, it’s likely a component that your accessibility team doesn't have control over. If the finding is related to a third-party vendor, we recommend working with the vendor to remediate. |
