Getting Started with LambdaTest Web Scanner

Accessing the Dashboard

Navigate to: https://webscanner.lambdatest.com/webscan/builds

You will see a unified dashboard with the following primary controls:

Scan Type Tabs

At the top left, you can switch between:

• Visual UI Scans
• Accessibility Scans

Each tab displays its own scheduled scans, configurations, and build statuses.

Search and Filters

Use the search bar to locate specific scans by name. Filters may be added in future iterations for build status, user, or date.

Login Configurations

For your accessibility scans, login configurations allow users to:

• Add Basic Auth credentials
• Add form authentication (via CSS selectors)

These configurations ensure that login-protected or session-gated URLs can still be scanned.

Schedule Scan Button

The primary CTA on the dashboard, Schedule Scan, triggers the full scan creation wizard.

How to Create a New Scan

Click the Schedule Scan button to launch the 4-step wizard. This process applies to both Visual and Accessibility scans. Platform-specific configuration steps appear based on your selection.

Step 1: Scan Overview

• Scan Name: Add an identifiable title
• Platform: Choose between:
  • Visual UI
  • Accessibility

Step 2: Scan Type Configuration (Dynamic)

Depending on the selected platform, you’ll either see Visual UI configuration or Accessibility configuration. You may use “Default“ settings or for more information follow the details provided:

Step 3: Add URLs

You can populate the scan target using three options:

• Manual Input: Paste multiple URLs
• CSV Upload: Upload a file with 1 URL per line
• Sitemap Import: Paste sitemap XML URL and select from extracted URLs

The maximum limit is 1,000 URLs per scan.

Step 4: Schedule the Scan

  • Select days (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri)
  • Select time (e.g., 08:30 PM)
