Third Party Violations

TestParty identifies and categorizes accessibility issues originating from third-party components, widgets, and integrations, helping you understand which violations are within your direct control and which require vendor engagement.

Third Party Vendor Communication Process

Direct Vendor Outreach: We reach out directly to third-party vendors on behalf of our clients
Technical Collaboration: Work with vendor development teams to implement accessibility fixes
Code Implementation: Either guide vendors through fixes or implement fixes ourselves depending on access levels
Verification & Testing: Ensure all vendor-related fixes are properly implemented and tested

Communication Protocol:

Initial Contact: Professional outreach explaining accessibility requirements
Technical Documentation: Provide specific code changes needed with screenshots and bounding boxes
Implementation Support: Guide vendors through proper ARIA labels, color contrast fixes, keyboard navigation
Follow-up Testing: Verify fixes are working correctly across the site
