Over View of Pope Tech
Pope Tech runs a WAVE scan every week around 1 am on Monday and emails the results to a list of people. Another feature that needs to be done manually is a crawl which adds new pages and removes old pages from the scan. Pope Tech can only find about 30% of accessibility related issues. The priority of fixes that Pope Tech flags would be errors to color contrast errors to alerts and finally features.
