Set Up Automated Accessibility Monitoring

Configure Continuous Accessibility Compliance & Scanning

Enable Automated Scanning

Step 1: Access Accessibility Settings

`
SLOS → Accessibility → Automated Monitoring → Settings
`

Step 2: Configure Scan Schedule

Daily Scan Configuration:
`json
{
“scan_frequency”: “daily”,
“scan_time”: “02:00”,
“scan_timezone”: “UTC”,
“scan_pages”: [
“homepage”,
“contact”,
“privacy-policy”,
“cookie-policy”,
“terms-of-service”,
“blog/*”,
“products/*”
],
“scan_depth”: “full”,
“include_subpages”: true,
“max_pages”: 1000
}
`

Weekly Comprehensive Scan:
`json
{
“scan_frequency”: “weekly”,
“scan_day”: “sunday”,
“scan_time”: “03:00”,
“scanscope”: “fullsite”,
“includeusercontent”: true,
“performance_mode”: “thorough”
}
`

Step 3: Set Up Scan Rules

WCAG Compliance Levels:
`javascript
const scanRules = {
‘wcag21_aa’: {
‘enabled’: true,
‘automated_checks’: true,
‘manualreviewrequired’: false,
‘severity_threshold’: ‘medium’
},
‘wcag21_aaa’: {
‘enabled’: false,
‘automated_checks’: true,
‘manualreviewrequired’: true,
‘severity_threshold’: ‘low’
},
‘section_508’: {
‘enabled’: true,
‘automated_checks’: true,
‘manualreviewrequired’: false,
‘severity_threshold’: ‘medium’
}
};
`

Configure Alert System

Step 1: Set Up Email Alerts

`
SLOS → Accessibility → Alerts → Email Notifications
`

Alert Configuration:
`json
{
“alert_triggers”: {
“new_violations”: {
“enabled”: true,
“severity”: [“high”, “critical”],
“frequency”: “immediate”
},
“regression_alerts”: {
“enabled”: true,
“threshold”: 5,
“frequency”: “daily”
},
“compliance_drift”: {
“enabled”: true,
“threshold”: 10,
“frequency”: “weekly”
}
},
“recipients”: [
{
“email”: “accessibility@company.com”,
“name”: “Accessibility Team”,
“role”: “primary”
},
{
“email”: “dev-team@company.com”,
“name”: “Development Team”,
“role”: “secondary”
}
]
}
`

Step 2: Slack/Discord Integration

`javascript
// Slack webhook integration
function sendSlackAlert(violationData) {
const webhookUrl = ‘https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK’;

const payload = {
“channel”: “#accessibility-alerts”,
“username”: “SLOS Accessibility Monitor”,
“icon_emoji”: “:warning:”,
“attachments”: [{
“color”: violationData.severity === ‘critical’ ? ‘danger’ : ‘warning’,
“title”: Accessibility Violation: ${violationData.rule},
“text”: violationData.description,
“fields”: [
{
“title”: “Page”,
“value”: violationData.page_url,
“short”: true
},
{
“title”: “Severity”,
“value”: violationData.severity,
“short”: true
}
]
}]
};

fetch(webhookUrl, {
method: ‘POST’,
headers: { ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’ },
body: JSON.stringify(payload)
});
}
`

Set Up Compliance Dashboards

Step 1: Create Accessibility Dashboard

`
SLOS → Dashboards → Accessibility → Create Dashboard
`

Dashboard Widgets:
`json
{
“widgets”: [
{
“type”: “compliance_score”,
“title”: “Overall Compliance Score”,
“metric”: “wcag21aacompliance”,
“chart_type”: “gauge”,
“refresh_rate”: “daily”
},
{
“type”: “violation_trends”,
“title”: “Violation Trends”,
“timerange”: “30days”,
“group_by”: “severity”,
“chart_type”: “line”
},
{
“type”: “top_violations”,
“title”: “Most Common Violations”,
“limit”: 10,
“chart_type”: “bar”
},
{
“type”: “page_compliance”,
“title”: “Page Compliance Status”,
“filter”: “failing_pages”,
“chart_type”: “table”
}
]
}
`

Step 2: Real-Time Monitoring

`javascript
// Real-time violation monitoring
function monitorViolations() {
const eventSource = new EventSource(‘/wp-json/slos/v1/accessibility/stream’);

eventSource.onmessage = function(event) {
const violation = JSON.parse(event.data);

// Update dashboard
updateComplianceScore(violation);
updateViolationChart(violation);

// Trigger alerts if needed
if (violation.severity === ‘critical’) {
sendAlert(violation);
}
};
}
`

Configure Advanced Scanning Rules

Step 1: Custom Accessibility Rules

`
SLOS → Accessibility → Rules → Custom Rules
`

Custom Rule Example:
`json
{
“ruleid”: “customcolor_contrast”,
“name”: “Enhanced Color Contrast Check”,
“description”: “Checks for WCAG AAA level color contrast ratios”,
“category”: “visual”,
“severity”: “medium”,
“automated”: true,
“selector”: “*:not(.accessibility-ignore)”,
“test_function”: “checkContrastRatio”,
“threshold”: 7.0,
“remediation”: “Increase color contrast to meet WCAG AAA standards”
}
`

Step 2: Dynamic Content Scanning

`javascript
// Scan dynamic content after page load
function scanDynamicContent() {
// Wait for dynamic content to load
setTimeout(function() {
// Scan AJAX-loaded content
scanElement(document.querySelector(‘#dynamic-content’));

// Scan modal dialogs
document.querySelectorAll(‘.modal’).forEach(modal => {
scanElement(modal);
});

// Scan infinite scroll content
document.querySelectorAll(‘.infinite-scroll-item’).forEach(item => {
scanElement(item);
});
}, 2000);
}
`

Set Up Automated Remediation

Step 1: Auto-Fix Configuration

`
SLOS → Accessibility → Auto-Fix → Settings
`

Auto-Fix Rules:
`json
{
“autofixenabled”: true,
“fix_rules”: {
“missingalttext”: {
“enabled”: true,
“strategy”: “generatedescriptivealt”,
“confidence_threshold”: 0.8
},
“lowcontrasttext”: {
“enabled”: true,
“strategy”: “adjustforegroundcolor”,
“fallback”: “addbackgroundoverlay”
},
“missingformlabels”: {
“enabled”: true,
“strategy”: “inferfromcontext”,
“require_review”: true
},
“empty_headings”: {
“enabled”: false,
“strategy”: “skip_fix”,
“reason”: “requiresmanualcontent”
}
}
}
`

Step 2: Smart Fix Suggestions

`javascript
// Generate fix suggestions
function generateFixSuggestions(violation) {
const suggestions = [];

switch(violation.rule) {
case ‘missingalttext’:
suggestions.push({
type: ‘alttextgeneration’,
description: ‘Generate descriptive alt text using AI’,
confidence: 0.85,
auto_apply: true
});
break;

case ‘low_contrast’:
suggestions.push({
type: ‘color_adjustment’,
description: ‘Automatically adjust text color for better contrast’,
confidence: 0.95,
auto_apply: true
});
break;

case ‘missing_label’:
suggestions.push({
type: ‘label_inference’,
description: ‘Infer label from form field context’,
confidence: 0.75,
auto_apply: false
});
break;
}

return suggestions;
}
`

Configure Performance Monitoring

Step 1: Scan Performance Metrics

`
SLOS → Accessibility → Performance → Metrics
`

Performance Tracking:
`json
{
“metrics”: {
“scan_duration”: {
“target”: “< 30 seconds", "alert_threshold": 60 }, "pagesperminute”: {
“target”: “> 10”,
“alert_threshold”: 5
},
“falsepositiverate”: {
“target”: “< 5%", "alert_threshold": 10 }, "fixsuccessrate”: {
“target”: “> 90%”,
“alert_threshold”: 80
}
}
}
`

Step 2: Resource Usage Monitoring

`javascript
// Monitor scanning resource usage
function monitorScanResources() {
const metrics = {
cpu_usage: getCPUUsage(),
memory_usage: getMemoryUsage(),
network_requests: countNetworkRequests(),
scanqueuelength: getQueueLength()
};

// Alert if resources exceed thresholds
if (metrics.cpu_usage > 80) {
sendAlert(‘High CPU usage during accessibility scan’);
}

if (metrics.memory_usage > 85) {
sendAlert(‘High memory usage during accessibility scan’);
}

return metrics;
}
`

Set Up Integration Monitoring

Step 1: CMS Integration Checks

`javascript
// Monitor WordPress integration
function checkWordPressIntegration() {
const checks = {
plugin_active: isPluginActive(‘shahi-legalflowsuite’),
version_compatible: checkVersionCompatibility(),
hooks_working: testWordPressHooks(),
database_tables: verifyDatabaseTables(),
cron_jobs: checkScheduledScans()
};

const failedChecks = Object.entries(checks)
.filter(([key, value]) => !value)
.map(([key]) => key);

if (failedChecks.length > 0) {
sendAlert(WordPress integration issues: ${failedChecks.join(', ')});
}

return checks;
}
`

Step 2: API Endpoint Monitoring

`javascript
// Monitor API endpoints
function monitorAPIEndpoints() {
const endpoints = [
‘/wp-json/slos/v1/accessibility/scan’,
‘/wp-json/slos/v1/accessibility/results’,
‘/wp-json/slos/v1/accessibility/fix’
];

endpoints.forEach(endpoint => {
fetch(endpoint, { method: ‘HEAD’ })
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
sendAlert(API endpoint ${endpoint} is not responding);
}
})
.catch(error => {
sendAlert(API endpoint ${endpoint} error: ${error.message});
});
});
}
`

Configure Reporting and Analytics

Step 1: Compliance Reports

`
SLOS → Reports → Accessibility → Generate Report
`

Report Configuration:
`json
{
“reporttype”: “complianceaudit”,
“time_range”: “monthly”,
“include_charts”: true,
“include_recommendations”: true,
“recipients”: [“compliance@company.com”, “legal@company.com”],
“format”: “pdf”,
“schedule”: “monthly”
}
`

Step 2: Trend Analysis

`javascript
// Analyze accessibility trends
function analyzeTrends() {
const trends = {
compliance_improvement: calculateComplianceTrend(),
violation_reduction: calculateViolationTrend(),
fix_effectiveness: calculateFixSuccessRate(),
scan_coverage: calculatePageCoverage()
};

// Generate insights
const insights = generateInsights(trends);

return {
trends: trends,
insights: insights,
recommendations: generateRecommendations(trends)
};
}
`

};

// Adjust algorithms based on QA results
if (qaChecks.falsepositiverate > 0.05) {
tuneFalsePositiveReduction();
}

if (qaChecks.fix_accuracy < 0.9) { improveFixAlgorithms(); }return qaChecks; } `
