## Do I need to add explicit wait time to scan for accessibility?
62-
No, you don't need to add explicit wait times. Our advanced tools are designed with built-in intelligence to detect when DOM elements are loaded automatically. They then immediately initiate accessibility scans for these elements. This feature ensures a seamless and efficient testing process without manual intervention for timing.

## How can I enable accessibility for my account/organization?
65-
Accessibility testing is a premium feature that requires activation. To enable it, contact our sales team through our [website](https://www.lambdatest.com/accessibility-automation) or your account manager. They will provide you with pricing details and plan options. Once you've chosen a plan, our team will activate the feature for your account.
62+
## 4. Do I need to add explicit wait times to scan for accessibility?
63+
For web accessibility tests, there is no need to add explicit wait times. Our advanced tools automatically detect when DOM elements are fully loaded and trigger accessibility scans immediately. This ensures an efficient, uninterrupted testing process without the need for manual timing adjustments.

## How many accessibility automation scans does one organization get?
68-
Although there is limitations on the number of parallel tests or threads you can run but there are no restrictions on the number of pages you can scan for thorough accessibility testing.
65+
For Native App Accessibility testing, the scan is initiated as soon as the user invokes the `lambda-accessibility-scan` hook during the active session.

## Why is it showing a sub-version (e.g. 1.41.3) even though I have selected WCAG 2.1 AA?
71-
WCAG 2.1 AA is the overall accessibility standard you've selected for testing. The sub-versions (like 1.4.1 or 1.1.1) are specific guidelines within that standard. These sub-versions represent individual success criteria that fall under WCAG 2.1 AA. While you test against the broader WCAG 2.1 AA standard, the results show compliance with these more specific guidelines to provide detailed insights into your site's accessibility.

- **DevTools:** DevTools runs on your local system, it can directly scan your locally hosted projects.
77-
- **Accessibility Automation:** The same way you use a tunnel to access any websites hosted locally, we can do the same for Accessibility Automation.
73+
For native app accessibility testing, the number of scans is determined by your native app accessibility plan.

## On what basis are the different statuses (e.g., critical, minor) assigned?
80-
Our system uses a proprietary algorithm to assign severity statuses to accessibility issues. These statuses (such as critical, major, minor) are based on several factors:
75+
## 7. Why does it show a sub-version (e.g., 1.41.3) even though I selected WCAG 2.1 AA?
76+
When you select WCAG 2.1 AA as your testing standard, you are targeting the overall accessibility guidelines. The sub-versions (e.g., 1.4.1, 1.1.1) represent specific success criteria within that standard. These sub-versions offer more detailed insights, as they reflect individual guidelines within WCAG 2.1 AA, helping you understand your site's accessibility in a more granular way.
