About EduSpring

EduSpring is an e-learning SaaS platform serving 250,000+ students across schools, coaching institutes, and enterprise learning teams. With new enterprise clients demanding Section 508 compliance and the European Accessibility Act deadline approaching, EduSpring needed to audit and remediate accessibility issues across 40+ product modules — fast.

Challenges Before TestKase Accessibility

1

No Accessibility Audit Process Before Launch

New course modules shipped without any WCAG review. Accessibility complaints were only discovered after users reported them, creating urgent patches instead of planned fixes — and damaging trust with assistive-technology users.

2

Dynamic Course Content Broke Static Scanners

Open-source scanners only audited static pages. EduSpring's interactive courses — with JavaScript-rendered quizzes, dynamic video players, and live exercises — introduced accessibility regressions that slipped through every audit.

3

LMS Pages Behind Login Couldn't Be Scanned

Most of the product lives behind authenticated flows (student dashboards, teacher admin panels, enterprise reports). Existing tools couldn't scan authenticated pages, leaving the majority of the product unaudited.

4

Tight Compliance Deadlines From Enterprise Clients

Two enterprise deals required full Section 508 + EAA compliance sign-off within a quarter. Manual audits from external consultants would have taken 6+ months, putting the contracts at risk.

Solution Delivered by TestKase Accessibility

1

Automated WCAG 2.1 AA Scans Across All 40+ Modules

The QA team ran TestKase Accessibility scans on every module in parallel. Within two weeks, every screen had a severity-graded WCAG 2.1 AA report — work that would have taken external consultants 6+ months.

  • All 40+ modules audited in under 2 weeks
  • Every issue tagged by severity (critical / serious / moderate / minor)
  • Element-level CSS selectors + fix suggestions for each finding
2

Workflow Analyzer for Dynamic Course Content

For interactive content — quizzes, live exercises, dynamic video players — the team ran Workflow Analyzer, which watches the page as a real user clicks through the flow. It caught accessibility regressions introduced by JavaScript and state changes that static scanners missed entirely.

3

Authenticated Scanning for LMS Pages

Student dashboards, teacher admin panels, and enterprise reports all live behind a login. EduSpring used TestKase's cookie-based authenticated scanning to audit every authenticated screen — covering the 80% of the product that other tools couldn't reach.

4

Severity-Graded Reports to Prioritise Fixes

Instead of a wall of raw WCAG rule codes, engineers got actionable reports grouped by severity. They focused on Critical and Serious issues first (blocking screen-reader access) and shipped high-impact fixes in the first two sprints.

Compliance Deadlines Missed

TestKase Accessibility turned a six-month consultancy project into a two-week sprint. We finally audited the parts of our product behind a login, fixed the critical issues first, and hit our compliance deadline with weeks to spare. Our students with screen readers noticed the change immediately.
