The audit grid simplifies the manual auditing process by allowing you to audit your site at your own pace while automatically quantifying your progress. The audit grid lets you:
- Plan your workload by previewing testing information — such as time estimates for each criterion,
- Follow detailed manual auditing instructions,
- Create remediation tasks on the spot,
- Watch your grid automatically fill up as you progress through each test.
Each cell in the grid will display its corresponding page’s testing status for each success criterion. Clicking on any given cell opens up more information. Such as:
- Success criteria details
- Testing details
- Launch test button
- Related remediation tasks
Interpreting the grid
Cell statuses will automatically update as you perform the associated tests. You can re-test a page at any time to update its status. The following is a breakdown of the different statuses for each cell.
- To-Do (dash): No tests have been conducted
- Incomplete Testing (half-filled triangle): Some, but not all, tests were performed
- Not Applicable (circle slash): Criterion does not apply to testing content
- Open Tasks (task icon with number): Every test was performed, and there are open remediation tasks
- Completed (checkmark): Every test was performed, and there are no open remediation tasks
