# Automated Accessibility (WCAG) Testing with AI

> Get automatic WCAG accessibility checks on every test run – no separate tool, no extra setup. Issues flagged and exportable to Jira or Linear.

---
Every QA.tech test run automatically checks for [WCAG](https://docs.qa.tech/core-concepts/issues) accessibility issues and logs them alongside functional findings – so accessibility coverage happens as a byproduct of testing you already do, with no separate tool or configuration.

Sub-use-cases

**Covers** Continuous WCAG checks on every run, accessibility issue triage, export of findings to the backlog and web accessibility coverage across key flows.

1.  01
    
    ## What gets checked against WCAG
    
    Common [WCAG](https://docs.qa.tech/core-concepts/issues) issues surfaced during real interaction: missing labels, structure and navigation problems, and other barriers a user would hit. Scope to be aware of: the automatic scanner does not check colour contrast, does not scan content inside iframes, and reports up to 10 accessibility issues per test session.
    
2.  02
    
    ## How does AI flag accessibility issues?
    
    As the agent interacts with each screen, it detects WCAG issues and records them as minor findings in the same interface as functional issues; they can be sent straight to [Jira](https://docs.qa.tech/core-concepts/notifications) or Linear.
    
3.  03
    
    ## When accessibility checks run
    
    Continuously – accessibility regresses quietly between dedicated audits, so checking on every run keeps it from drifting. Include it in your regression [test plan](https://docs.qa.tech/core-concepts/test-plans) so coverage compounds release over release. Relevant for European Accessibility Act readiness.
    
4.  04
    
    ## Who needs automated accessibility testing
    
    Teams with compliance requirements and anyone wanting accessibility coverage without a separate tool or process.

    ## How QA.tech helps
    
    Accessibility is usually an afterthought because it needs dedicated effort. QA.tech makes it a default, so issues are caught early and routed to the backlog automatically.
    

FAQ

## Common questions

Is automated accessibility testing enough for WCAG compliance?

QA.tech catches many WCAG issues continuously, but the automatic scanner does not cover colour contrast or content inside iframes and caps at 10 issues per session, so a formal audit is still needed for certification.

Do I need to configure the checks?

No – they run automatically on every test.

How are accessibility issues reported?

As minor findings you can review and export to [Jira](https://docs.qa.tech/core-concepts/notifications) or Linear.

    Account & Profile Settings Testing
    
    An AI agent runs every settings action a user can take – update profile fields, change email and password, upload an avatar, toggle preferences – then verifies the changes persist after a refresh. Settings pages look simple but touch storage, auth and email, so they regress quietly.

    Analytics & Tracking Event Testing
    
    An AI agent completes the real user flow in a browser – a checkout, a signup, a form submit – then verifies the tracking request actually fired: URL pattern, method, status code, and the payload it carried. The purchase beacon with the wrong revenue value fails the test, before it fails the month-end numbers.

    Authentication & Login Flow Testing
    
    An AI agent runs your real login journeys – including the parts traditional tools can't, like opening an email or reading an SMS code – and verifies the user ends up authenticated. QA.tech gives the agent its own inbox and phone number, so magic links, one-time passwords and confirmation emails are tested end to end, not mocked. See how Upsales replaced 320 hours of manual testing a month with this approach.
