Legal compliance for an error-free result from Audit and Report
Is my website automatically legally compliant and 100% accessible if no errors are found?
This article explains what an error-free result from Eye-Able Audit and Eye-Able Report says about the legal compliance and accessibility of your website.
What an error-free result means
A website that does not contain any errors found by Eye-Able Audit and Eye-Able Report is not automatically legally compliant and 100% accessible according to WCAG. However, a website on which the audit or report finds errors is almost always not accessible.
Limits of automated testing
Audit and Report aim to cover all automatically testable steps. However, there are still test steps that cannot be detected automatically. These often require a good understanding of the context of the page and a judgement as to the meaningfulness of the content.
Human testing complements automated testing
We are continuously expanding the number of automatic test steps, including through the use of AI where appropriate. However, we believe that every page should always be tested by those affected. Ultimately, accessibility should be achieved by people for people.
In this context, manual tests conducted in Eye-Able will play an important role, such as the test for existing alternative texts in Audit.
