CAAT
What CAAT is
CAAT is web software for accessibility professionals and organizations that test websites and document results. It combines automated scans, manual review tools, mobile testing, and remediation guidance, with coverage for WCAG 2.2. Manual audits support collaborative workflows, custom checklists, review work, and accessible reports. CAAT can find PDFs on websites and check them for PDF/UA using PAC technology powered by axesPAC. Integrated catalogs include WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2, EN 301 549, ATAG, and the Matterhorn Protocol for PDF/UA. Findings can be exported as CSV for Excel, Jira, or GitLab, and JSON import is supported. Reports may be shared with optional password protection or an expiry date. The maker says CAAT is hosted in Germany and that mindscreen complies with GDPR requirements. A 15-day trial and 45-minute online demo are available. The Solo plan costs €500 a year, billed annually in advance, excluding VAT, with 10 manual audits yearly, 500 automatic analyses monthly, unlimited domains, and one user.
