Accessibility Testing for the Web

NextIssue Priorities

Last updated 11 months ago

Goals

The Open Accessibility Testing Methods for Experts And Layfolk were created with two goals in mind:

  1. Ensure consistent accessibility testing across eBay

  2. Make detailed accessibility testing methods available to everyone; not just accessibility experts

Issue Priorities

from P1 (most severe) to P4 (least severe) are given to issues found via OATMEAL tests.

Accessibility Guidelines

Since eBay strives for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to Level AA, most OATMEAL methods will test to this standard.
