Validation
¨Validate accessibility with automatic tools and human review.
–Bobby is a good example.
–www.cast.org
–Software tools do not address all accessibility issues, such as the meaningfulness of link text, the applicability of a text equivalent etc.
–www.abwa.asn.au has links to many automated validation methods.
–Use validation methods at the earliest stages of development.
•Accessibility issues identified early are easier to correct or avoid.
Automated methods are generally rapid and convenient but cannot identify all accessibility issues. Human review can help ensure clarity of language and ease of navigation. Note pp doesnt recognise .org as a link.
