I conducted accessibility evaluation for
our PDM application. This requires to check
the application against the Section 508
of US federal laws.
Section 508
requires that when
Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain,
or use electronic and information technology,
Federal employees with disabilities have
access to and use of information and data
that is comparable to the access and use
by Federal employees who are not individuals
with disabilities, unless an undue burden
would be imposed on the agency. Section
508 also requires that individuals with
disabilities, who are members of the public
seeking information or services from a Federal
agency, have access to and use of information
and data that is comparable to that provided
to the public who are not individuals with
disabilities, unless an undue burden would
be imposed on the agency.
I used various accessibility tools and Assistive
technology to see how much the application
supports such things
The
findings are published as VPAT:
1) Section 1194.21
Software Applications and Operating Systems
2) Section 1194.22 Web-based Internet Information
and Applications
