Web Accessibility Assessment Tool 1.0

Web Accessibility Assessment Tool or, in a shorter form, WaaT was deigned for helping web developers easily to asses a web page compliance with the Web standards.

WaaT is one of the tools created within the premises of the ACCESSIBLE project, which is a targeted research project (STREP) within the ICT programme of FP7.

For the convenience of ACCESSIBLE users two different versions of the tool are being supported. Thus, a standalone version in addition to a web based version that can be accessed through the ACCESSIBLE portal are offered to potential users.

So, each system user will be able to define some input parameters /rules/ constraints regarding the overall assessment process (e.g. evaluate a web page according to a specific WCAG 2.0 accessibility technique, or according to a specific disability, AEGIS and ACCESSIBLE personas, etc.).

The layout design of the standalone and the web version of the assessment tool have been designed and implemented to look similar.

This helps the system users to recognize and use both solutions (e.g. if one user has worked with one of the solutions it could be easy for him to start using the other).

The assessment tool can take as input the URL/local path of the preferable web page (or the preferable html source code) and then it can produce as output the evaluation results of the accessibility assessment process.
