Scanning Overview

Discover the diverse array of auditing features Aulys supports—from simple single-page checks to advanced user-journey simulations.

Capabilities at a Glance

Single Page Scans

Point Aulys at any URL and let our automated engine parse the DOM. Best used for static marketing sites, landing pages, and one-off health checks.

User Journey Flows (Beta)

Simulate clicking buttons, filling out forms, and traversing multi-step funnels to ensure accessibility isn't lost during complex interactions like checkouts or signups.

Authenticated Scans

Provide custom headers, cookies, or basic auth credentials so Aulys can bypass login screens and scan internal application dashboards securely.

Behind the Scenes

When you trigger a scan, Aulys doesn't just read the HTML source string. Doing so would miss the vast majority of modern Single Page Application (SPA) content.

Headless Execution: We boot a headless Chromium instance to execute your React/Vue/Angular bundles.
Accessibility Tree: The engine analyzes the browser's Accessibility Object Model (AOM), exactly as screen readers like NVDA and VoiceOver do.
WCAG Matching: Results are mapped strictly against the parameters of WCAG 2.1 or 2.2, giving you definitive success/failure metrics.
