The CCC Technology Center has acquired a license for Pope Tech Website Scanning Tool to assist colleges in monitoring and evaluating public-facing websites for accessibility issues.
Although scanning tools are limited in the types of accessibility issues they can evaluate, such tools can identify problematic areas of a website that may warrant further attention. Accessibility MonitoringĪutomated accessibility monitoring provides large-scale assessments by scanning and reporting on potential accessibility issues of a website.
Automated testing should be performed during the development process and outstanding issues should be resolved prior to manual testing. Evaluating a website for accessibility requires attention to both automated and manual accessibility tests in order to ensure all individuals have the opportunity to engage with the information.Īutomated tests may include the use of site-wide accessibility tools or web browser testing tools to evaluate the technical accessibility issues of a website or web-application. For example, while automated tests can identify if there is an accessibility violation at a technical level (e.g., missing alternate text for images), such automated tests cannot accurately assess the quality of the alternate text when such information is included. Accessibility testing should involve a combination of automated tests and manual evaluations in order to assess the technical and functional accessibility of a website.
