Towards web accessibility repair
Article No.: 9, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are becoming a new trend on the Web. Despite that, current evaluators and repairing tools do not access all the possible variation of RIAs producing incomplete results. Thus, it is important to fully understand the impact of RIAs in accessibility, identify development and repair patterns. We perform that using an extended version of QualWeb evaluator, which allows to simultaneously understand, evaluate and propose repairing practices to some accessibility problems of RIAs.
