Automated Accessibility Remediation: Everything You Need to Know

Web teams today are moving fast... maybe too fast. Between shipping new features, squashing bugs, and racing against the next sprint deadline, keeping up with accessibility often falls to the bottom of the to-do list. But here’s the thing: digital accessibility isn’t optional anymore. It’s essential: for compliance, for your users, and for your brand.

That’s where automated remediation comes in.

At TestParty, we believe accessibility should be fast, easy, and actually enjoyable to fix. Automated remediation helps teams detect and resolve accessibility issues across their websites, apps, and PDFs, without getting bogged down in manual checklists or messy code tweaks.

In this guide, we’ll break down what automated remediation actually means, how it works, and why it’s a game-changer for developers, designers, compliance leads, and everyone who cares about inclusive digital experiences.

What Is Automated Accessibility Remediation?

Automated remediation is the process of automagically identifying and fixing accessibility issues like missing alt text, poor color contrast, inaccessible PDFs, and more. Instead of digging through reports and editing code line-by-line, TestParty handles the heavy lifting for you: offering real-time fixes, no tears required.

Unlike manual audits that can take weeks (and cost thousands), automated remediation is fast, scalable, and consistent. Plus, it works with your existing tech stack, whether you're running a Shopify store, a WordPress blog, or an enterprise-grade web app.

Let’s say your PDF isn't screen reader–friendly. TestParty can convert it into a clean, accessible HTML page with keyboard navigation and alt-text intact. No need for a developer, no need to wait.

How Does TestParty's Remediation Magic Work?

Let’s pull back the curtain. Here’s a look at how our remediation pipeline works, step by step:

1. Detection

We scan your site, app, or PDF using our AI-powered accessibility engine. Think of it as a digital assistant that knows WCAG inside and out. It flags issues like:

• Unlabeled buttons
• Non-descriptive links
• Headings out of order
• PDFs that are completely unreadable by screen readers

2. Triggering Remediation

As soon as an issue is detected, TestParty activates the right remediation flow. Whether it’s converting PDFs, adding alt text, or fixing semantic HTML, our workflows are smart, scalable, and tailored to your platform (hello, Shopify themes 👋).

3. Applying Fixes

Once the fix is ready, we apply it directly via the source code of your website or with CMS integrations. No digging through the code required. We can also continuously scan and provide suggestions in your GitHub or staging environment.

4. Validation

We double-check any suggested fix with both automated and human-in-the-loop validation. That means fewer false positives and more peace of mind. You’ll also get a WCAG-compliance report with every remediation.

5. Reporting & Notification

Need to prove compliance? Want to know which pages are now screen-reader friendly? We generate audit-ready reports and keep your team in the loop with real-time updates, summaries, and trends over time.

Why Accessibility Automation Matters

Automated remediation isn’t just about saving time (although, yes, it does that too). It’s about delivering better, faster, and more inclusive digital experiences for everyone.
