    Onboarding of government users to the Cloud based Web Accessibility Reporting solution:

    1. Profile & anticipated numbers of primary users
    2. Volume of Government websites to be assessed by the solution

    • Administrators should be able to log in & configure the home page URL, type/level & frequency (e.g., one time, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, etc,) of accessibility tests for their respective websites.
    • Developers & Testers should be able to log in & specify the action taken to remedy the NCs (Non Compliances) that are reported as an outcome of each run of the accessibility test.
    • The accessibility test reports are to be stored, not the website pages/media
