Understanding Reports

Conalyz Runtime generates two report files at the end of every session.


HTML Report

conalyz_report.html is a self-contained visual report that opens in any browser — no server required.

What it contains

  • Device information — model, screen resolution, pixel density
  • Per-screen summary — violation counts by check type for each screen
  • Violation details — every violation with:
    • The check that failed and its severity
    • The accessible label of the affected element
    • The element's position and size on screen
    • The specific reason it failed (e.g. contrast ratio, exact dimensions)
  • Screenshot with highlights — click any violation row to open a modal with the screenshot and a red highlight over the exact element. In automated mode with scrollable screens, the modal shows the screenshot from the scroll pass where that violation was found — so elements that only appear after scrolling are shown in their actual visible position, not on a blank area of the initial screenshot

Severity levels

SeverityMeaning
CriticalBlocks access entirely for some users
HighSignificantly impairs usability for some users
MediumCauses friction; workarounds may exist
LowBest-practice violation; minor impact

JSON Report

conalyz_report.json contains the same data in a structured format, suitable for:

  • CI pipeline integration (fail the build if violations exceed a threshold)
  • Custom dashboards and tooling
  • Tracking violations over time

Top-level structure

{
"generatedAt": "2026-05-25T10:30:00.000Z",
"device": {
"model": "sdk_gphone16k_arm64",
"densityDpi": 480,
"pixelRatio": 2.625,
"physicalWidth": 1080,
"physicalHeight": 2400,
"logicalWidthDp": 411,
"logicalHeightDp": 914
},
"screens": [
{
"name": "Login",
"totalViolations": 4,
"screenshotCount": 1,
"violations": {
"touchTargets": [],
"contrast": [...],
"focus": [...],
"labels": [],
"vagueLabels": [],
"disabled": [],
"sliders": []
}
}
]
}

screenshotCount reflects how many screenshots were captured for that screen. Most screens have screenshotCount: 1. Screens with long scrollable content captured in --auto mode may have more — one screenshot per scroll position.


Controlling report output

Use CLI flags to control which reports are generated and where they are saved:

# Write both reports to a specific directory
conalyz auto --output ./reports

# JSON only
conalyz auto --no-html

# HTML only
conalyz auto --no-json

See the CLI Reference for the full list of flags.
