No previous message | Next message →
Does anyone know about the status, availability, or quality of WCAG evaluation tools that prompt users to look at checkpoints that require some degree of manual inspection? These may be called "Step-by-Step" or "wizard-based" evaluation tools:
"Wizard-based evaluation tools guide users through sequences of checks step by step. Sometimes these tools are able to execute some of the accessibility checks automatically and prompt the users to manually evaluate the remaining checks. For example, an evaluation tool with a wizard interface may be able to automatically check if the images on a Web site have text descriptions, then display the images with their corresponding descriptions to the users to evaluate how appropriate these descriptions are."https://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/selectingtools.html
Do any of these tools exist?

Hi Mark,
I suggest having a look at WorldSpace Assure. Once you setup the test it
will ask for automation test, when you run the automation test the tool
will check all the SCs that can be tested with automation and leaves the
SCs for manual test. However you can still go and make changes to the
automation results.
I think this is the only tool perhaps I know which can meet some degree of
your requirement. If you need more information I can connect you to right
people .

Our AMP toolbar indicates possible violations to be reviewed by a human in addition to automatic, and manual violations. For manual violations test steps are given to verify the issue is a violation or not. Some but not all manual or automatic tests have associated visual checks such as those that highlight headings, lists, or other elements on the page for the user. We do not have a wizard that forces the user through each image, etc. as we find that would be overwhelming and not practical to click through every single element for hundreds if not thousands of checks.
