What CheckFox is

CheckFox is a web application for conducting digital accessibility audits. It supports manual audit workflows against multiple referentials including WCAG 2.2, RGAA 4.1, and RAWeb 1.1.

Who uses it

• Accessibility auditors (independent or in-house) producing conformance audits.
• Designers and developers checking their own work before release.
• Compliance officers at organizations subject to EU or Luxembourg accessibility law.

Core concepts

• Workspace — the top-level container. Holds audits, members, billing.
• Audit — one assessment of a digital service against one referential.
• Sample — a specific page or screen included in the audit.
• Criterion — a single accessibility rule from the chosen referential.
• Finding — the result of evaluating one criterion on one sample.
• Journey — an ordered set of samples representing a user task.
• Accessibility statement — the legal document declaring conformance.
• Report — the auditor's deliverable summarizing the audit.

Typical workflow

1. Create or join a workspace.
2. Create an audit, pick a referential and conformance level.
3. Add samples (URLs of pages to evaluate).
4. Optionally map journeys.
5. Evaluate each criterion on each sample, recording findings.
6. Generate the accessibility statement from findings.
7. Export the report.
