Scans
Three ways to scan — Website Scanner, Authenticated Scanning, and Workflow Analyzer.
TestKase Accessibility scans in two places — the web app and the Chrome Toolkit — sharing the same WCAG rule engine, report format, and workspace:
| Mode | What it scans | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Website Scanner | Up to 10 URLs in a single run | Public pages and authenticated pages that load on a direct URL |
| Authenticated Scanning | Pages behind login (cookies / login form / HTTP headers) | Dashboards, admin pages, customer portals |
| Workflow Analyzer | Multi-page captures recorded by the Chrome Toolkit in your own browser — the web app views them, it cannot start one | Issues that only appear after interaction (form fills, navigation, state changes) |
All three produce the same report shape: score, severity breakdown, WCAG conformance matrix, issue list with element detail.
Choosing the right mode
- Everything should start with Website Scanner. If your target page loads on a URL and shows the same content on every load, Website Scanner is the fastest path to a report.
- Use Authenticated Scanning when the page is inside a login wall and the URL alone can't reach it. You still get a Website Scanner–style report, just with credentials applied first.
- Use the Workflow Analyzer when the bug appears only after user action — e.g., a validation error state, a modal that opens, a page that reveals content after form interaction. You capture those states with the Chrome Toolkit, driving the flow yourself, and review them in the web app. There is no way to start a capture from the web app.
Limits shared across all modes
- Up to 10 URLs per scan (Website Scanner and Authenticated Scanning), and one run at a time per scan.
- Scan names must be unique across your own scans.
- Website Scanner and Authenticated Scanning run in your primary organization and reach public addresses only. Workflow Analyzer captures have neither restriction — they run in your own browser.
- Accessibility is free: manual scans use your Live Browser plan, scheduled scans your Automate plan (each includes 15 free lifetime minutes). Workflow Analyzer captures run in your own browser, so they use no minutes and need no plan.
- Unlimited pages and re-scans — no page quota.
- Retention: 90 days for every organization — see Scan limits.
