Generate Executive Summary Report

You can now generate an Executive Summary Report that offers a high-level overview of the most critical accessibility issues found during an assessment.

Key Highlights

• Summarizes top 5 affected pages or components, prioritized by issue severity (Blocker, Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor).

• The Total Issues column reflects the cumulative weighted score of all the identified issues.

• Editable Sections Include:

  • Overview
  • Accessiblity Conformance
  • User Impact
  • Top Issues

This feature is available on the Test Run Overview page only when the admin enables the Enable executive Reporting option on the Admin Settings page.

User Access Control for Test Cases and Test Runs

Axe Auditor now includes User Access Control, allowing organizations to manage visibility of test cases and test runs at the user level. This helps maintain confidentiality across projects.

Key Highlights

Access Types:

• Public: Visible to all users across the instance.
• Private: Visible only users explicitly associated with the test case.

User Roles:

• Tester: Can view all the test cases and associated test runs, and perform testing activities.
• Private: Can add new users and assign relevant test cases and test runs, edit and duplicate them and also remove the added users, if required.

Folder Behavior:

• Authorised users can view only the test cases within a folder for which they have access permission.
• If no accessible test cases exist in a folder, then it appears empty to the user.

Admins have the full visibility and control regardless of access settings.

This feature is configurable using the Admin Settings page. Once enabled, the access options appear when creating new Test Cases.
