This post was suppose to be part of the Validating WCAG 2.0 post. But due to the length of the combined post, I decided to split them. SortSite by Electrum is a complete testing tool for web sites. It isn’t free, but it isn’t very expansive either - the standard version cost 149$ ( complete price list ). It stands alone, and doesn’t require Internet access (there’re couple of information frames that pools data from the web site, besides those, everything will work). The application checks...
Earlier this week, I’ve published my post about Fujitsu Accessibility assistance . One of the problems with this tool is that it still checks only for WCAG 1.0. In fact, most of the tools out there, are still aimed at WCAG 1.0. Following the post, I was asked for a tool that will validate WCAG 2.0. Since I actually need it my self, I didn’t need much more to get on the search. ATRC Web Accessibility Checker The “ ATRC Web Accessibility Checker ” is an online validating tool from the “ Adaptive Technology...
When you develop an accessible site, you would probably incorporate the accessibility test into your QA phase. This is a standard practice, and it is a good practice. However, you might want to test your code yourself, while still in development. This is a good practice too. If you’re running unit tests on you C# code, why wouldn’t you do something similar for your HTML code? If you are developing within Visual Studio, the IDE highlights some elements, and offer some tests for accessibility. But...
Tal Shachar , which is a sort of a mentor for me, and one of the people I appreciate the most, introduced me to IE7Pro , which he writes about on his blog . I've been using it for quite a while now, and found a few features I really like. Sessions' management This is, for me, a great (if not the greatest) feature. I'm spending quite some time researching the Internet, for me, or for my clients. When I'm preparing for a lecture, or when I'm writing a post, or just trying to study...
I'm working quite a lot with Virtual PC and Virtual Server . And who isn't? When ever I need to test something for my self or for a client; If I want to create a POC, or a demo. Virtual machine is a perfect solution. When I was working on the Accessibility Open House , I created a VPC to demonstrate some of the topics I was talking about. However, while working, I run out of space in my VPC drive. That was a very frustrating situation. Here I was, with almost everything installed, and I can't...
Every now and than I get an application I want to check, but I'm worried that it might harm other processes on my machine, or block my memory if they suffers from a memory leaks. Sometimes I get files from people which contains viruses, but still I need to have a look at them (what if the RAR file, with all the pictures from that trip, also has a virus in it?). For all of the above (and maybe some others) the perfect solution is some kind of a sandbox. For quite a while I was using a virtual...
