Need to know if your web presence meets accessibility standards? Accessibility Scanning is a service for automatically scanning your pages and monitoring change over time. Use it to manage your web sites and content towards compliance.
Accessibility Scanning uses the industry-leading accessibility scanning product, axe Monitor, provided by Deque.
When to Use Accessibility Scanning
Accessibility Scanning is best used by U-M website managers, developers, and content editors in CMS environments. Reports from the service can be exported and shared with administrators or leaders in your organization.
The scanning service can detect accessibility issues in static web content, but cannot scan interactive web applications that depend on user input.
