Update Notes January 16 2025

16. January 2025

The development of CAAT was continuously pushed forward in the last quarter of 2025. A total of seven updates have been installed since the last announcement. Regular users of CAAT have certainly already noticed some of the improvements.

Part of these updates consisted of fixing minor bugs as well as important technical preparations in the background for future features.

We are particularly pleased to present three new features.

Reports now also in Estonian and Swedish

Reports in CAAT can now be published in Estonian and Swedish. CAAT now supports a total of six languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Estonian and Swedish.

Many thanks to our two new localization partners:

  1. for Estonian Estnisch Jakob Rosin from Sparrow Access
  2. for Swedish Sander Nijsingh from alverdae

Localization partners are enthusiastic CAAT users who help us translate reports into their languages. 
Would you also like to help us with the translation? Then get in touch with us (e-mail address in the footer). The effort is manageable, and as a thank you we offer attractive discounts on CAAT.

The application itself is still available in English and German.

Evaluations according to several guidelines in the report

CAAT allows evaluations according to different guidelines in the report. Once the corresponding test catalog has been prepared, the guidelines to be applied can be selected individually for each report.

Screenshot of the evaluation according to various guidelines. 
On the left is the name of the guideline (e.g. WCAG 2.1 AA), in the middle in numbers how many criteria were not met (e.g. 8 out of 50 not passed) and on the right a graphical representation of the result.
The summary automatically includes the evaluation according to all guidelines selected for the report. 
Screenshot of the overall evaluation display, including a dropdown with the label “Select evaluation”.
The guidelines can be selected in the conformity table.

This function is helpful to quickly recognize which guidelines are already fulfilled.

For example, although the requirements of WCAG 2.2 will only be taken into account in a future EN standard, you can visualize how many of these requirements you already meet. You can also see at a glance whether you meet both the EN requirements and WCAG 2.1, for example.

Internal audit notes

If notes are stored, the “Show internal notes” button appears after the breadcrumb navigation on the right-hand side
Display of the open note on the right-hand side of the application.

Internal notes can be stored for each audit, which can be called up directly at any time during the audit. This function makes it possible to store important information and notes in a central location and access them quickly when required.

What can the notes be used for?

  • Recording notes on the current audit.
  • Documenting particularities of the audit.
  • Creating a briefing for colleagues in the team to ensure seamless collaboration.

The new notes function makes the organization and conducting of audits even more efficient and team-oriented.
