What does FastPass check while you use the page?

FastPass runs automated checks and offers a visual aid for the sequence reached by Tab. Run the scan for detectable problems, then use the keyboard and see whether each useful control is reached in a sensible order.

Some results need human review. The separate Assessment mode offers a longer set of guided checks based on WCAG 2.1 AA. Choose the scope you need and record the pages and states you actually checked.

What goes in a report you can hand to a teammate?

Export the FastPass result or copy the details of a failure. Include which page state you used and the first step where the keyboard could not reach a control. Review what the report contains before sharing it.

Use the MIT-licensed Web extension in Chrome or Edge. Check its usage and crash-report settings before using it on a private test page. The Windows desktop product is a separate tool in the same family.

How can you check that a button can be reached without a mouse?

Use a standalone sample with a Search field and a Clear button that only clears fictional input. Use no connected services. If you cannot install the extension, write the expected sequence and mark the extension run as pending.

  1. Start with the intended path
    Focus the sample, press Tab and note where the outline goes. Check that Search and Clear are both reachable. Use Shift+Tab to check the return path.
  2. Compare with Tab stops
    Turn on the visual aid and repeat from the same page state. If it highlights a possible failure, confirm it with the keyboard yourself.
  3. Record what needs fixing
    If Clear is skipped, record the last control reached and the next one. After a fix, repeat the same sequence and save the result you actually observed.
