Métrica para la evaluación de la accesibilidad en internet: Propuesta y testeo

Abstract

Tools for automatic evaluation of Web accessibility are fast and responsive, but in order to ascertain the degree of actual compliance with design recommendations, they must be complemented with the personal opinion of an expert. What is required is a methodology combining manual and automatic techniques to assess accurately the level of accessibility of Web platforms. This metric should be thorough in order to follow the Web Accessibility Initiative guidelines, precise, and unambiguous. This article deals with a new questionnaire for experts offering greater objectivity and clarity in the formulation of variables, which will provide a more realistic assessment of Web accessibility and be geared to legislative requirements. Finally, it will be implemented to validate its consistency.
