Closed isn’t the same as verified.
Accessibility remediation verification checks whether a change addressed the original barrier. It combines applicable automated retesting with the human evaluation needed for the affected experience, keeping the result connected to the work.
Return to the affected experience.
Start with the original issue: the element, affected pages, and behavior that needed attention. After the fix is deployed, revisit that context to check the result.
When the source is a shared component, consider its variations and the places it appears as part of your testing scope.
Choose the checks the issue needs.
Automated retesting can determine whether a detectable failure is still present. Human testing can assess how the interaction works in practice.
Depending on the issue, that may include navigating by keyboard, reviewing focus behavior, testing with a screen reader, or checking whether content makes sense in context.
Keep the outcome understandable.
A useful verification record explains what was checked, how it was checked, and what the result means. Keep that context with the issue so another team member can understand the conclusion.
If more work is needed, record the next step. If a check covers only part of the experience, keep that scope clear.
Keep watching after the fix.
A later template update or content change can reintroduce a barrier. Ongoing monitoring gives your team another opportunity to investigate when a detectable issue appears again.
Give progress a stronger foundation.
Verification adds meaning to a completion count. It helps your team explain which fixes were checked and where further evaluation is still needed.

Request accessA meaningful verification record identifies the issue, tested pages or states, method, date, and outcome. The conclusion applies to that scope. Your team should agree on these criteria; an Ility status label alone is not a testing method.
First confirm that the affected page and state were evaluated again. A failure may be absent because a rule passed, but also because coverage changed or the element was not reached. Then perform the human checks the issue requires.
Illustrative scenario; not a customer result or a measured product demonstration.
A practical example
After adding a form label, the tester checks the label association, visible wording, and the field’s accessible name. They also try the form’s relevant interactions. They record the tested scope without claiming the entire website is accessible.
Connect the fix to what happened afterward.
