Following the WCAG 2.0 Techniques: Experiences from Designing a WCAG 2.0 Checking Tool
This paper presents a conceptual analysis of how the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and its accompanying documents
can be used as a basis for the implementation of an automatic
checking tool and the definition of a web accessibility metric. There are
two major issues that need to be resolved to derive valid and reliable
conclusions from the output of individual tests. First, the relationship of
Sufficient Techniques and Common Failures has to be taken into account.
Second, the logical combination of the techniques related to a Success
Criterion must be represented in the results.
The eGovMon project has a lot of experience in specifying and implementing
tools for automatic checking of web accessibility. The project is
based on the belief that web accessibility evaluation is not an end in itself.
Its purpose is to promote web accessibility and initiate improvements.
