Audit Automation

AuditLab supports automation for selected parts of the accessibility audit process.

For certain specifications, automated checks can be configured to run predefined rule sets that evaluate common accessibility requirements without manual interaction. While not all aspects of an accessibility audit can be fully automated, these automated checks help identify many technical issues efficiently and provide a consistent baseline for further manual review and analysis.

In the Planning tab, after planning the audit activities, the matrix indicates which modules support automatic auditing.

To start the automation for the selected and supported modules, go to the Automation tab (1) and click on Start Automation (2).

A pop-up window appears where you can configure the settings for the automatic audit, such as automatically associating detected findings with the audit, etc.

Once you have configured the settings of the automatic audit according to your project requirements, click Start Automation to begin the process.

After the automation has finished, a box at the top of the screen displays the number of findings detected. By clicking on this box, you can open the detailed view and review each finding individually.

If you have pre-selected the option Associate findings automatically with audit, the findings detected during the automation will also appear in the Audit tab. There, each finding is listed under the respective accessibility requirement along with its description. You can review and edit the findings manually or add additional findings as described in our Create Findings article.
