An audit needs a justified selection of typical pages, navigation and core processes. Dynamic states such as errors or open dialogs belong in scope too. The report should identify the tested version, coverage and criteria. An assessment of selected pages should not automatically be presented as an assessment of the entire digital offering.
Tools identify certain technical problems, such as missing markup. Whether a screen reader makes a form understandable or keyboard focus is managed sensibly requires additional manual assessment. WCAG 2.2 includes requirements concerning obscured focus and accessible authentication. Applicability is checked against the actual journey.
A useful finding describes its location, affected usage and a possible correction. Priorities help developers address serious barriers first. After changes, testing verifies that the problem is resolved without introducing another barrier. The report is a working foundation; conformity statements need to match the documented scope.
