Categories

The checklist provides categories for each testing guideline. These are meant to help identify relevant criteria as you are evaluating a site, application, or document. They are broken down as follows.

  • Color: Tests about color contrast and the use of colors on the page.
  • Content: Tests about how content is written.
  • Forms and Inputs: Tests that verify the proper use of forms and inputs (buttons, selects, etc.)
  • Images: Tests where images are verified for appropriate use and accessibility features.
  • Interaction: Tests about how site functions behave when you interact with them.
  • Keyboard: Tests that require manual keyboard testing to verify (also covers Screen Readers)
  • Motion: Tests that must be checked when content moves or changes on its own.
  • Multimedia: Tests about video and audio.
  • Resizing: Tests about how the page behaves when resizing, zooming, or rotating the browser contents.
  • Structure: Tests about the theme and the appropriate use of HTML markup.
