Reports, Exports, and Developer Handoff turn working evidence into material another person can read, reproduce, archive, and act on.
The best accessibility report is not the longest one. It is the one that keeps the finding, evidence, selector, user impact, recommendation, and uncertainty together so the next person does not have to reverse-engineer the review.
What this feature is for
Reports, Exports, and Developer Handoff turn working evidence into material another person can read, reproduce, archive, and act on.
Feature coverage
- Exports QA report HTML, report summary, issue log CSV, evidence bundle JSON, diagnostics JSON, release discussion JSON, trend snapshot, and local issue-state bundles.
- Imports local issue-state bundles so review status and annotations can come back into the extension.
- Creates per-issue developer handoff with selector, evidence, recommendation, rule/guidance, and classification.
- Copies Markdown, Jira text, selector, JSON, diagnostics, and release discussion summary.
- Adds selected feature sections, browser preference utilities, keyboard evidence, manual checks, and screen-reader review evidence to the QA report.
- Keeps privacy visible by using local-only state and export workflows rather than a remote reporting service.
WCAG and accessibility importance
Reports, Exports, and Developer Handoff connect findings back to WCAG criteria, selectors, evidence, recommendations, and review status so developers can understand both the technical issue and the user impact.
The accessibility importance is follow-through. A finding only helps users when it becomes a clear fix. Preserving WCAG references, evidence boundaries, and handoff text reduces the chance that confirmed issues, manual checks, and limitations get flattened or lost during delivery.
Technical notes
- Exports are generated locally from structured runtime state, not from separate handwritten summaries.
- HTML is useful for stakeholder review; CSV is useful for issue logs; JSON is useful for evidence archives, diagnostics, or downstream tooling.
- Developer handoff works best after the reviewer has opened the issue and checked that the selector and recommendation are reproducible.
