Testing Accessibility Features

When developing or customizing accesibility features for Siebel Business Applications, developers must focus on the HTML output to ensure compatibility with other assistive-technology programs. Whenever possible, developers should also involve persons with disabilities in the testing and evaluation process of the new feature to gain a much greater understanding of the accessibility issues. Consider the following when testing accessibility features and the resultant HTML output:

• Test the accessibility features with Internet Explorer Developer toolbar.
• Use the View - Source browser menu item to view the source of your page. Note that functions implemented by JavaScript, such as keyboard shortcuts, will not appear in the source page.
• Test that the HTML meets the guidelines as outlined in Accessibility Standards.
• Test the accessibility features with an assistive-technology aid to simulate real-world usage.

  Choose up to three assistive technology packages that are industry standards.

• Test the accessibility features without using the monitor or mouse.
• If possible, employ a user with the targeted disability and a suitable assistive-technology program, such as a screen reader or magnifier, to perform a standard acceptance test on the application. If no one is readily available, contact the national association for the targeted disability in your country.
