The features
described in this
section pertain to the
reporting features of
our solutions. With
helpful reporting, users
can determine that Web
files are fully
accessible or comply
with specific web site
quality factors, such
as: Privacy,
Searchability, Alt Text
Quality or Custom Test
Suites. In addition,
accessibility reporting
should identify Web
elements that fail
accessibility testing.
Enhanced accessibility
reports provide users
with graphical
representations of
results, as well as the
ability for users to
create custom ad-hoc
reports on demand to
obtain specific
information.
