Accessibility

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
