There will be no violation reports for rules, pages, or elements your team has chosen to ignore, for example.\n*   **Speed:** With the application already built locally, tests can run immediately without requiring your build pipeline.\n*   **Scope:** Execute only the tests you need to focus on your changes, ensuring faster results and excluding unrelated issues.\n\nRecording tests locally offers early feedback, helping you quickly detect if resolving one accessibility issue introduces another. This targeted testing workflow can significantly enhance development efficiency and quality.\n",
