Bridging the digital divide

Appendix 6: AccVerify reports

AccVerify used an automated process to “crawl” the site, testing each html file against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 1.0 to Priority 1 level.

Please note:

  • Only 124 of the sites could be “crawled” in this way. The technology used for the remaining sites prevented this process. We were able to test the sites using another AccVerify utility, but were not able to generate summary reports.
  • AccVerify can be set to generate graphic representations of the data. The graphics do not, however, provide extra information. We therefore stopped generating them after the first run in order to speed up the processing.
  • AccEase is able to generate reports for each html page in the 124 sites that are amenable to automated testing. Tests can be taken to WCAG Priority 3 level, and can also include some other features if requested. These reports list the errors by url and line of code. Site quality reports can also be created, listing the urls and other details of file types, link phrases, link errors, and repetitive anchor text, and the urls of pages with data tables, errors in title elements, scripting without a noscript element, and html files larger than a selected maximum size.
