What does it mean to manually test a website?

GrackleAUDIT provides you the ability to have your websites, mobile native apps, software and more, go through a manual auditing process.

Digital products are manually by our Digital Accessibility Specialists, who are trained in testing each WCAG success criteria. The evaluation is based on the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM). To ensure manual audits are completed at the highest standard, each specialist has their work independently cross-checked and participates in cross-checking the testing work of others against the same criteria.
