    Limitations and alternatives

    Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Cirrus Assessment , there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

    Known limitations for Cirrus Assessment
    • Content from users: WCAG features available for authors but not enforced because content is owned by and the responsibility of our customers.
    • False Alerts: False alerts from Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools because E.g. a spacer image without any semantic value lacks an alt text.. As it does not impact the user experience, contrary to real accessibility bugs, we fix fake alerts at very low priority. Please, review each alert to confirm it is not a false positive before contacting us.
