Assignment Details

Complete an accessibility audit of your project (Group)

Write up your validation for your website (Group)

In addition to completing the competency requirements, you should update your project’s web page to include a section on validation.

Accessibility Audit

Your write up should include a brief report on accessibility, transparently listing each of the success criteria in the WCAG beginners guide and stating what your project’s level of compliance is, which should be one of:

  • Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
  • Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion (explain which)
  • Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion (explain which)

Note: if there is no content to which a success criterion applies, the success criterion is satisfied (should be marked as “Supports”).

Other Validation

You are expected to pick at least aspect of your project to validate. Even though we are not doing user studies, it is important to show that your product works as expected. For this part of the write up, you should explain what you tested, why, and what the results are.
