Limitations and alternatives
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Cirrus Assessment, including testing with the most commonly used screen reader in our standard QA processes, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
- Content from users: WCAG features are available for authors but not enforced, as content is owned by and the responsibility of our customers.
- False alerts: False alerts from Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools may occur — for example, a spacer image without semantic value that lacks alt text. As these do not impact the user experience (unlike real accessibility bugs), they are addressed at low priority. Review and test each alert to confirm it is not a false positive before reporting it.
