<p>This feature refers to the capability of an evaluation tool to select a
subset of web pages within a website according to different criteria. These
criteria correspond to different parameters: random selection, user access
visits, modification dates, type of content, pages with frequent user
interaction (such as search forms or feedback forms), manual selection by
the evaluation tool user, etc.</p>

<p>This feature is important for manual tests in large web sites where it is
practically impossible to carry out manual accessibility tests in all of its
web resources.</p>
<p>Evaluation tools that crawl entire websites or otherwise monitor overall website activity, for example through integration in Content Management System (<abbr>CMS</abbr>), can also identify samples of web content to be analyzed more closely. For example, evaluation tools could highlight web pages with particular characteristics, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Include specific components such as tables, forms, media, and widgets;</li>
<li>Meet or fail particular accessibility requirements after automated testing;</li>
<li>Have been newly added to the website or modified (beyond a threshold);</li>
</ul>
<p>Such tools can also help to randomly select web pages for a website for further inspection (detailed analysis by expert evaluators).</p>
