Standardized for Success
We chose this format to bridge the gap between technical auditing and project management, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
Distinct sheets for Automated, Screen Reader, and Zoom testing prevent data clutter. This separation allows specialized testers to work independently without stepping on toes.
Every issue maps directly to WCAG 2.2 success criteria. Includes tracking for Conformance Levels (A, AA, AAA) to generate accurate compliance reports automatically.
Go beyond just "finding" issues. Built-in columns for Development and QA status create a closed-loop system tracking issues from discovery to fix to verification.
The included Test Execution sheet maps 57 WCAG checkpoints to specific user scenarios, providing stakeholders with visible proof of test coverage.
