For the quarter ending June 30, 2025, here are some release highlights from our product development team.
New Features
App scanning in Mobile Flow Analyzer, for Android
App scanning in Mobile Flow Analyzer can crawl, scan, and analyze an app with one click – regardless of the framework it was written in.
Still in early deployment, app scanning scans one visible screen at a time as it flows through the app and itemizes accessibility issues. App scanning engages with and analyzes all interactable elements within a screen before moving on to the next one.
As part of the report, an app navigation map is provided to show the flow app scanning followed. That means users don’t just get a complete report of accessibility issues with one click; they also get a complete, hierarchically-ordered map of an entire mobile application.

Full page scanning for single-page scans
Also new in Mobile Flow Analyzer is the ability to scan entire mobile pages, even those that are multiple scrolls long. MFA will scan the entirety of the page, not just what is visible in the device frame, and provide a de-duplicated report.
Dynamic validations in Automation SDK for Mobile
Dynamic validations are a new concept we developed for Automation SDK for Mobile. An industry first, these validations are interactive and programmatic in that they emulate assistive technologies.
In Q2, we released two dynamic validations for the Appium SDK for Android: keyboard focusable (any operable UI elements must be reachable by keyboard) and visible focus indication (any operable UI element must have a visual focus indication).
Component testing in Automation SDK for Web
Evinced Automation SDK for Web now supports component testing in WebdriverIO and Selenium Java. Using machine learning and computer vision, the SDK can detect interactive elements, classify them by design patterns, and run component-specific tests.
This new feature promises to deliver at least 15% higher accessibility coverage for screen reader and keyboard users.

Chatbot available inside Microsoft Teams
As of May 2025, the Evinced Chatbot is available in Microsoft Teams. Developers, testers, and anyone in the organization can get instant, AI-powered accessibility guidance directly within their collaboration environment.
Chatbot can answer questions (and follow-up questions), review code, read screenshots, and more. In addition to Slack, organizations can now use MS Teams to access Chatbot.

Improvements
Improved focus order detection in Design Assistant
Design Assistant, the Evinced plugin for Figma, now supports focus order detection in Layout mode. A new section in the accessibility checklist highlights the focus order of all interactive elements, making it easier for designers to assess keyboard navigation and ensure a logical flow. Also provided in this section are detailed guidelines for operating interactive elements (such as buttons, links, tab lists, and any other design pattern) with a keyboard.
Improved view handling in Site Scanner
Site Scanner supports improved view handling, now including severity-based filtering. Users can create custom views that display issues by one or more severities, such as a view dedicated only to critical issues, and name those views for quick access. This new feature allows teams to save commonly used filters as reusable views and create role-specific dashboards without needing to re-apply filters repeatedly.
In brief
More versions of Evinced Automation SDKs now support storing reports in the cloud on the Evinced platform including WebdriverIO, Selenium, and Cypress. Also new in Automation SDKs is the ability to automatically analyze content that is inside an iframe. As a customization option, customers can now point to their own internal documentation (instead of our Knowledge Base) in any Evinced product where fix recommendations are presented. In Design Assistant, color contrast problem detection is now more powerful and reliable.
