Why Accessibility Reporter?
Accessibility Reporter is a tool for scanning your websites to help you meet your accessibility obligations and make the web a better place.
The tool sits inside Umbraco and runs a suite of accessibility tests against your whole website or the current live webpage that you are editing. It provides a report of all the issues found including failed tests, incomplete tests (that require further human investigation) and passed tests.
There are a number of areas that cannot be tested by Accessibility Reporter, or in fact any automated testing tool, so it is critical that you use both automated and manual testing.
Helpful tips
For every issue that Accessibility Reporter discovers the impact of the problem is clearly described and how you can fix it.
