Accessibility Testing: Compliance Is Verified With Each Release

Since June 28, 2025, digital accessibility has been mandatory for a large portion of the private sector’s online services. An annual audit is no longer sufficient: what is compliant today may no longer be compliant after three updates.

Retail, banking, manufacturing, transportation, and services: Our clients run nearly 3 million scenario simulations per month on their critical workflows.

Compliance slips through the cracks between audits

An audit brings the site up to standard, everyone is satisfied, and six months later a new component is added without a label, a button color changes, and the contrast falls below the threshold. No one did their job poorly—accessibility simply wasn’t part of the verification process. Once automated, it becomes part of the process just like regression testing.

Automatically verifiable criteria

Contrasts, text alternatives, field labels, heading structure, page language. Everything that can be controlled without human judgment.

The Journey on the Keyboard

Tab order, focus traps, accessible elements. This is where navigation paths most often fail.

On the courses, not on a page

Compliance is determined based on the entire user journey, not just the homepage. The check follows the scenario.

What Remains Human

Automation covers a significant portion of the criteria, but not all of them. The relevance of a text alternative is assessed; it cannot be calculated.

Integrates with your pipeline without rewriting it

Accessibility testing is triggered from your CI, runs on your production environments, and reports back to where your teams are already working. No retooling required.

How Continuous Assessment Changes Things, Line by Line

Annual Audit OnlyWith an inspection at every delivery

Annual Audit Only

With an inspection at every delivery

Compliance is only valid on the day of the audit.

It is verified every time it goes into production.

The discrepancies accumulate over a six-month period.

They are flagged upon delivery, which creates them.

Upgrading is a major undertaking.

It's a correction that takes just a few minutes.

The report is sent as a PDF once a year.

The result is in the same dashboard as the rest.

No one tests using the keyboard.

The keyboard path is part of the scenario.

Accessibility is a topic in its own right.

This is a requirement in the test specifications.

ResultAccessibility gaps detected at the time of delivery should be addressed immediately, rather than waiting until the next audit.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common questions we get about accessibility testing.

What criteria are checked?

The RGAA requirements that are automatically checked: color contrast, text alternatives, form field labels, heading hierarchy, declared language, attributes of interactive components, and keyboard navigation.

Is automation enough to ensure compliance?

No, and this needs to be made clear. A significant portion of the criteria requires human judgment: the relevance of a textual alternative, the clarity of wording, and the consistency of the reading order. Automation handles volume and repetition; it does not replace the audit.

Who is subject to this requirement?

Accessibility has long been a requirement in the public sector. For the private sector, the June 28, 2025, deadline set by the European Accessibility Directive extends this requirement to many online services, including e-commerce, banking, and transportation.

Can we test the accessibility of a mobile app?

Yes, based on the same principle, using criteria specific to iOS and Android platforms. The review focuses on the labels of elements, contrast, and screen reader navigation.

Where should I start?

Through the pathways that drive the service, not through the homepage. An inaccessible checkout process or contact form poses a real problem, whereas a non-compliant corporate page is merely a reporting issue.

What does the report generated each time the program runs contain?

Each check generates a downloadable report—in JSON format for your tools and in HTML format for your teams. It shows the number of tests that passed and failed, both as a count and as a percentage, and details each violation along with the relevant element.

How do we track changes over time?

A dedicated dashboard displays a score out of ten, a trend line for the selected time period, the success rate within the testable scope, and the breakdown of failures by severity: critical, serious, moderate, and minor. You can immediately see if a production deployment has compromised compliance.

Should we create separate scenarios for accessibility?

No. The test is integrated into an existing workflow at the stage of your choice. The same scenario verifies that the funnel is working and that the pages it goes through remain compliant.

What happens when a criterion deteriorates?

The scenario fails and triggers the same workflow as your other tests: incident, alert via email, text message, or webhook, and escalation to Jira or PagerDuty if you’ve integrated them. Accessibility is no longer just an annual audit—it’s now a continuous monitoring process.
