We're happy to announce a new addition to our automated testing toolkit: Accessibility Testing. With just a few clicks you can now scan your websites for accessibility issues and ensure compliance with international accessibility standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
With the 2025 European Accessibility Act (EAA) Deadline coming up, it's more important than ever to ensure your websites are accessible to all users. TestingBot offers an easy to use solution to quickly scan URLs and get actionable insights on how to improve your website's accessibility.
Scheduled Accessibility Tests: Automated Monitoring for Your Websites
Making your web content accessible to everyone including users with disabilities, is more than just a best practice, it's a responsibility (and in many regions, a legal requirement). Staying compliant can be difficult, especially if your website is constantly changing.
This is where TestingBot's new Scheduled Accessibility Test feature comes in. With this new feature, you can easily set up tests that regularly scan your web pages for accessibility issues:
- Add one or more URLs from your website.
- Schedule tests to run daily, weekly or monthly.
- Receive alerts if any WCAG violations are detected.
- View detailed reports to understand the issues and fix them quickly.
This is perfect for teams who want to maintain compliance over time and catch regressions as soon as they are introduced.
No setup, no maintenance; just configure and let TestingBot monitor your site in the background.
Example Use Cases
- Monitor your homepage and signup/login flows for regressions.
- Test localized versions of your pages for WCAG compliance.
- Run accessibility tests after every deployment or as part of a release checklist.
