Use common platforms where doing so helps you to deliver services which meet user needs faster and more cost-effectively (considering the features and functionality available in the platforms).

Common platforms and standards

Any common platform you use must have been assured and found to produce outputs that meet the relevant government requirements.

For example, only use a form building platform if it鈥檚 been assured and found to produce forms which meet the required standards for accessibility, security and compatibility with operating systems and browsers. But assuming it has, you will not need to:

• test the frontend performance of individual forms
• test the frontend code of individual forms for accessibility, test with assistive technologies or commission an accessibility audit
• test individual forms for compatibility with different browsers and devices
• carry out vulnerability and penetration testing on individual forms

If you鈥檙e using a SaaS-type form building platform, you won鈥檛 need to consider hosting, deployment or monitoring uptime and performance - assuming that鈥檚 built into the platform.
