2.3.1.1.3 Technical Acceptability - Automated & Manual Test Results

Manual Test Results

As part of the technical acceptability requirement, Optimal conducted manual accessibility testing on fifteen selected pages from GSA.gov. These pages were evaluated against the Section 508 Refresh and WCAG 2.2 standards using assistive technologies, including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, in addition to manual code inspection. The report identifies error locations, cites the applicable success criteria, and provides remediation guidance for each issue.

The results are available here: Manual Accessibility Testing Report – GSA.gov (HTML)

Automated Test Results

Optimal used iAccessible to conduct a full automated scan of GSA.gov against the Section 508 Refresh and WCAG 2.2 standards. The automated assessment identifies accessibility barriers at the page and element level, ranks issues by severity, and provides remediation guidance for developers and content authors.
