L13 - Accessibility Checkpoint


Section 508 criteria for Web-based technology and information systems are based on access guidelines generated by Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Accessibility Checkpoints are designed to check areas of any Web site that require special attention according to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium ) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. They do not necessarily indicate whether the Web site under test conforms to the guidelines.
Accessibility checkpoints can be add to help quickly identify areas of any Web site that may not conform to the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. You can add automatic accessibility checkpoints to each page in website under test, or you can add individual accessibility checkpoints to individual pages or frames.
