Comparative Analysis of Automated Web Accessibility Tools for Developing and Evaluating Accessible Websites
Main Article Content
Abstract
An automated web accessibility tool is software which is used to check and develop a web page, or even the entire website for web accessibility. An automated web accessibility tool acts as a base line for web accessibility in organizations. The main limitation of these tools is that the tools fail to cover all accessibility guidelines. Some tools instead of providing adequate results add confusion to developers and designers as they believe they are doing the right thing. The paper presents the comparative analysis of some automated accessibility tools.
