I’ve been using the A11y Insights for Web Edge Extension to assess one of my team’s applications, which has many pages. Specifically, I have been using the Full Assessment, not the FastPass or Quick Assess.

In using the tool, I find it very time consuming to go section-by-section within the Assessment for each page. To do this more efficiently, I find myself trying to do multiple pages for a single section all at once, before moving on to the next section for those same pages (i.e. Keyboard section for pages ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’; Focus section for those same pages; Landmarks for those pages; etc). This approach is super helpful because, when doing one page at a time, I must re-read the instructions (and edit my system settings for the screen resolution on those sections that require it, as well) and perform the same steps again for each page. By assessing multiple pages at a time for a single section, I edit my system settings only once and become more proficient at following the steps in that section. The reasoning for how this method is more proficient could easily be compared to the same reason why an assembly line is the most efficient way to assemble a car.

With this said, it would be super helpful if you could add support for assessing multiple pages in a single section, at once. Having the visual helpers available for multiple pages at a time would save hours of work in assessing an application, especially applications with many pages.

Describe the desired outcome

User should be able to select multiple pages for assessment using Full assessment.

This would be awesome! (shamelessly promoting my own feature request)

Multi-page assessments would make this the best testing tool out there. Please do.
