Perspectives
What “Tested” Should Mean: How We QA Every Drupal Component
Vardot’s QA process starts at design review, then tests each Drupal component for function, UI match, browser and device compatibility, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and performance when needed. Automated Playwright tests rerun key flows in every release to catch regressions
How Varbase Enhances Accessibility in Drupal
Varbase makes Drupal sites accessible by default with four checks: WCAG 2.2 AA themes and site templates, an axe-core test gate on every release, Editoria11y for editors, and AI-drafted fixes that people approve. Includes real test results from a fresh Varbase 11 install.
