Verify accessibility

• Test the accessibility using available tools.

After a Web site or template has been created, check the site to ensure that it complies with accessibility requirements. Several techniques are available to verify that the content on your Web pages is accessible to people with disabilities. See the individual checkpoints for specific tests for each checkpoint.

Each checkpoint in the IBM Web Accessibility Checklist contains both development techniques and testing techniques. To comply with this checkpoint (Checkpoint 16), all of the testing techniques documented in each checkpoint must be employed.

To complete the required testing, view each checkpoint page linked from the IBM Web Accessibility Checklist. On each checkpoint page, view the Testing section, and perform the testing steps as documented. Use the provided Pass/Fail criteria to determine whether each checkpoint is successfully met.
