What types of issues does QA.tech detect?

We continuously improve our issue detection and can export issues to Linear, Jira, and Trello. Some examples of issues we detect:

Failed tests

When a test cannot be completed, we create a failed test issue. This often indicates a UX problem or functional issue in your application that needs investigation.

Console errors

We capture JavaScript console errors that occur during test execution. These are typically filed as low-severity issues but can indicate bugs or misconfigurations.

Accessibility issues

We automatically check for WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 violations using axe-core on every page your tests visit.

How it works

  • Scans run automatically during test execution (on page load, after navigation, after clicks)
  • Issues appear in the dashboard with the exact URL, HTML element, and WCAG documentation
  • Same issue across multiple test runs is grouped together

WCAG coverage

  • ✅ WCAG 2.0 (Level A, AA, AAA)
  • ✅ WCAG 2.1 (Level A, AA)
  • ✅ WCAG 2.2 (Level AA)

Limitations

  • Maximum 10 issues captured per test session (see limits)
  • Color contrast not checked (use browser DevTools for this)
  • Content in iframes not scanned
  • Certain rules disabled: region, landmark-one-main
To maximize coverage: Create tests that visit all important pages in your app. Tests provide deeper coverage than crawlers because they can authenticate, fill forms, and navigate complex flows.
Accessibility scans are integrated into test execution. To schedule regular accessibility checks, create a test plan and schedule it to run daily/weekly.

What we don’t detect

Because we interact with your product as a user through a browser:
  • Server-side errors: Use a monitoring tool like Sentry or BugSnag for backend exceptions
  • Network request failures: We log these for debugging but don’t create issues for them

Issue Statuses

You can mark issues as resolved or choose to ignore them to not be notified again. Ignored issues do not count towards your statistics and insights.

Export Issues

Issues can easily be exported to Linear, Jira, or Trello. Configure integrations in Settings → Integrations.
