What's New
Show Accessibility Score Card
Enabling the checkbox, Show Accessibility Score Card displays the accessibility score graph for the users on the Test Run Overview page. This checkbox is enabled by default.
Bug Fixes
-
Trying to update a test run without filling mandatory fields resulted in the axe-core field value (which is read-only) changing to an unreadable format. This is now fixed.
-
When the user selected Desktop Software as the digital asset type and then tried adding an issue from the Issue Description Library, the Recommendation Technique dropdown was incorrectly populated with HTML advice in the Add Issue modal.
Remediation Recommendations must only show for Desktop Web or Mobile Web.
Known Issues
-
Following a release upgrade, if the axe-core has been updated, the accessibility standards in the Admin Settings are overridden with the default settings.
Workaround: After upgrading axe Auditor, reapply your custom accessibility standards in the Admin Settings.
-
When users who are not logged into axe Auditor attempt to view screenshots in the Issues page in an incognito browser by clicking on the "View" button, the screenshots do not display.
Workaround: Ensure that you are logged in to axe Auditor before attempting to access the Issues page in an incognito browser.
-
On the View Issues page, clicking the delete button multiple times when deleting a comment displays multiple delete notifications, even though the comment is only deleted once.
Workaround: Avoid clicking the delete button multiple times as clicking it once successfully deletes the comment.
-
The filter function is not working on the Checkpoint tab for flagged issues.
-
Performing automated testing on a component behind an iFrame throws an error, and the loading icon is displayed indefinitely.
