Routine checks are built into the existing operations for the platform and include:
- Visual diffs. Short for visual difference. This is a software testing system that ensures the platform's user interface (UI) looks and functions as planned.
- Playwright actions. Playwright is an automated testing tool. Playwright actions test HTML input elements like text inputs, checkboxes, and selects, to make sure they are working correctly.
- Security scans. Security scans find security issues during the software development process. Early identification means no security problems are introduced into the codebase. We use one of the world's most popular security scanning tools.
- Accessibility checks. Automated accessibility checks review headings, links, color contrast, and more. If any new code falls below our current standard score, we fix it. The DX platform sites are accessible to WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA, WAI-ARIA 1.2, and ATAG 2.0.
Success Metrics
As each agency launches their new website with the enterprise digital experience brand the success of their migration will be benchmarked against the following metrics. These metrics were established by the Steering Committee.
Baseline information was collected using Monsido and the Google Page Speed Test.
All agency Google Page Speed Test Benchmark
Website Page Inventory and Accessibility Audit
- Readability - 8th grade or below for the top 10 agency web pages
- Quality - 93% score by Acquia Optimize
- Accessibility - 83% score by Acquia Optimize
- Web Pages and Documents are to be reduced to cleanout old, outdated, unused, or content that is no longer relevant.
Additionally, website speed (time to interactive) and performance should improve as benchmarked with the Google Speed Test.
These routine checks help keep the codebase up to date with best practices. We continue to fine-tune and monitor existing testing.
