INTRODUCING LIVE URL SCANNING, AND BRAND-NEW TEAM ADMIN CONTROLS

Our November release is filled with major updates: We’re adding live URL
scanning to the Stark platform to provide a full end-to-end accessibility from
design and code to the live product. Plus we’re adding all-new admin controls to
manage team and enterprise accounts.

Team Stark

Nov 21, 2023

The Stark platform has grown so much over the last year, and we’re thrilled to
announce the latest addition to the end-to-end solution for your team and
company’s accessibility workflow. Starting today, the Stark web app supports
URLs as assets inside Projects. 

With the addition of URL scanning, you can now get real-time reports and
insights on all your URLs be it in production or staging environments alongside
your design files and code repositories. This is another huge step forward in
making the concept of Continuous Accessibility a reality and streamlining the
accessibility workflow from design and code to the live product. Let’s dive into
the details!




REAL-TIME REPORTS & INSIGHTS FOR URLS

Adding URLs as assets in your projects is as easy as copying and pasting the
link(s) into the new input field right below your Figma files and Github repos.
You can add one or multiple URLs (one per line) and Stark will do all the
scanning and ordering for you in the background. It’s that simple!

Once you’ve added your URL, Stark performs the same real-time accessibility
compliance scans you already know from design files and code repositories. The
results are then displayed in a report sorted by violations, potential
violations, and passed checks. If you’ve added multiple URLs, you’ll see the
report for the first URL instantly and can use the dropdown menu to switch to
the reports for each of the additional URLs with just a click. All issues are
grouped according to the WCAG guidelines, so it’s super easy to see how many
issues per category exist.

Adding URLs as assets offers very flexible use cases for teams and organizations
of all sizes. From scanning your production website, e-commerce shop or app with
many subpages, to testing the latest experiences on your staging environment for
QA purposes, you’ll get real-time test results and insights over time in one
central place.


MONITORING AND MANAGING ACCESSIBILITY END-TO-END

We’ve been hard at work to bring this latest addition to the Stark web app which
now enables teams to proactively monitor and manage accessibility in real-time
across design, code, and live product. 

Gone are the days of disjointed, delayed testing and reporting tools, slow
processes to fix accessibility issues in design or code, and delays in bringing
an inclusive, accessibility-compliant product to market. Whether you’re a design
or engineering manager, QA, and compliance expert, or product manager, Stark
enables you to centrally monitor all assets of a project in one place. And then
we take it another notch up! You also get to view progress happening over time
and make adjustments in prioritization as issues appear—without delay.

Projects in Stark are by default shared with every team member on your company
account, increasing collaboration and transparency so that you can accelerate
time to compliance and save valuable resources in your product development
process.

Every report in Stark is real-time and shareable with a unique link, so that as
a manager you can send the report to your designer or developer via Slack,
Teams, or even email for review. From there, your team can get right to work,
jumping into the connected Figma file, GitHub repo, or the browser to find and
fix issues using the Stark tools.

Historic report data is available with a click so that you can measure the
progress of your team’s accessibility work over time. Shareable reports also
make business reporting simpler and easier since all you have to do is include
the link to each project in your slide deck or executive summary.


MORE CONTROL FOR ADMINS

Admins are the unsung heroes of cultural transformation in organizations. As our
customers adopt Stark across departments, we’re continuing to add more features
admins are asking for. With today’s release, we’re making managing your team
easier than ever.


AVATARS AND NAMES

As Stark helps streamline the accessibility workflow across departments, it’s
both nice and helpful to see people’s faces and their full names. That makes
everything from collaboration across design, development, and QA in projects to
assigning control owners in the Compliance Center so much better – and fun.
Stark now also supports uploading your company logo as an avatar for your
business or enterprise account which makes navigating through the account
switcher even easier when you’re a member of multiple teams.


INVITE TEAMMATES

Inviting your coworkers to Stark is as easy as copying their email address and
hitting send on the invite. But when you onboard tens or hundreds of people to
collaborate on accessibility, it can be harder to keep track. So, we’ve added
invitation status to the team management view. You can now see which invite is
still pending, and if need be give them a little nudge to join.


ACTIVITY, ROLES, AND OPEN SEATS

Many admins told us that they’d like to see the progress their team is making in
adopting and using Stark. Now you can see the number of total seats as well as
how many seats are used right on top of your team member list. You can also
filter this list by activity status.


SEARCH FOR TEAMMATES

We’ve added a lightning-fast search on top of your team member list. All you
have to do is start typing and we’ll sort the list of team members as you go,
making it super easy to find people by name and see their status.


START MANAGING ACCESSIBILITY END-TO-END WITH EASE

It’s exciting to see how our customers across industries – from entertainment
and gaming to finance and government – are embracing Stark to empower their
employees with the integrated AI-powered tools to supercharge their
accessibility workflows in design and code, monitor the effectiveness of their
accessibility workflows end-to-end across projects in real-time, and manage
their accessibility posture proactively with Compliance Center.

And while the year certainly isn’t over yet (and we have a lot more in store, or
should we say stockings, for the December release!), we’re incredibly proud of
how much the Stark platform has grown in the past 11 months.


AND THERE’S EVEN MORE IN STARK’S NOVEMBER RELEASE

In addition to the announcement of Live URL Scanning and the brand-new admin
controls, our November release comes with even more improvements and bug fixes
to all parts of the Stark platform. Read about it in the release notes and check
out the highlights below:


STARK IN FIGMA

We’ve made the Contrast tool better by adding a color dropper just like you know
it from Stark in the Browser. You can now pick a color from the canvas or type
in your color values without having to leave the Stark window.

Our color picker now also supports local variable colors. We organize them right
under the selection colors for you to pick from when you click that little
chevron icon on the color swatch.


STARK’S SCAN & ANALYSIS ENGINE

We’ve made a major upgrade to Stark’s scan and analysis engine to support WCAG
2.2 criteria that can be automatically checked. Plus we squashed a number of
bugs that might have caused false positive results on certain color contrast
combinations.

Lastly, we’ve made some major speed improvements to our scanning that’s now
supporting our tools for design files, code repos, and live URLs. Give it a
spin!


WE’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK
