Assessment Procedures

The assessment procedure for determining whether your application conforms to this provision is simple. Utilize the following steps to perform your test:

• Open the form to be tested.
• Navigate through the form.
• Note whether:
     – You can navigate using the keyboard.
     – It is readable by assistive technology devices.
     – The purpose of each field is defined.
• Any items noted will need to be addressed during remediation.
• There may be tools to automate this procedure. Since all twelve provisions can not be measured in an automated way, manual test procedures must accompany any automated processes used to ensure complete testing is performed, and eliminate inaccurate results.
