Accessibility Testing
Creating Scans
Configure and run accessibility scans on your web pages.
Creating Scans
This page is the short version — read it once to understand the basics. For each scan type in depth, see:
- Web Scanner — multi-URL scanning of public or authenticated pages.
- Authenticated Scanning — scan pages behind a login.
- Workflow Analyzer — scan live user flows dynamically.
Starting a scan
- Go to Accessibility → Website Scanner in the product sidebar.
- Click New Scan.
- Enter a URL and press Enter or click Add page. Add up to 10 URLs in the same scan.
- (Optional) Open the ⚙ Settings gear to adjust the WCAG version, enable advanced or best-practice rules, or configure authentication.
- Click Create Scan. The scan queues immediately and typically finishes within 30–90 seconds per URL.

Scan configuration at a glance
URL list
- Up to 10 URLs per scan.
https://is auto-prepended if you omit the protocol.- Duplicates are rejected client-side.
- A scan name is auto-suggested from the first URL's domain; edit it any time.
WCAG version
Default is WCAG 2.1 AA. Pick from the full matrix of WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 at Levels A, AA, or AAA. See WCAG levels and versions.
Rule toggles
| Toggle | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced rules | On | Enables extra axe-core rules that are disabled by default. |
| Best practices | Off | Includes rules that improve UX but aren't WCAG violations. |
| Needs review | On | Includes issues that need manual inspection to confirm. |
Full details: Rule categories.
Authentication (optional)
If the URLs are behind a login, open the Authentication tab in Scan Settings and pick one of three methods: Cookies, Login Form, or HTTP Headers. Full setup: Authenticated scanning.
What happens during a scan
- TestKase queues the scan and runs each URL in a headless Chromium browser.
- Auth (if configured) is applied before the first page loads.
- Axe-core runs against each rendered page.
- Results — issues, conformance, screenshots, HTML snippets — are written to your workspace.
- The scan appears in the Website Scanner list with status
completed(orfailedwith a message).
Limits
- Up to 10 URLs per scan.
- No limit on the number of scans you can run.
- Report retention and export formats depend on your plan — see Scan limits.
