Table 1: WCAG Conformance Criteria

Criteria	Conformance Level	Remarks and Explanations
1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A)	Partially Supports	The product was tested for: Images that convey information are embedded within standard user interface components and have a meaningful AccessibleName and/or AccessibleDescription Images that are decorative are embedded within standard user interface components and have neither an AccessibleName nor an AccessibleDescription Information shown in complex images such as charts is also available in an alternative textual form (e.g. a data table), or the containers of the complex images are filled with simple image children whose information is exposed via AccessibleName and/or AccessibleDescription Data tables include a summary or caption, programmatically connected with the table as the AccessibleTable's AccessibleSummary Controls have an AccessibleName, or a label control with an AccessibleName has been programmatically associated with it Text summary or alternative is provided for time-based media Non-text characters are not used or have meaningful alternative text CAPTCHAs are not used Exceptions: Bug 19970115: While debugging a test program, opening the Threads window and using the arrow keys to navigate through the table does not read out selected item. The key pressed is read out instead. Bug 21217867: On the first page of the Create Application Server wizard there are radio buttons to specify whether the server is an integrated or standalone web server. The screen reader does not read the selected button's value but just says “Web server radio button selected”. Bug 23041623: Screen reader does not read text "This version of JDeveloper requires that all projects with JavaServer Faces and JSTL be migrated..." in 'Java Web Projects' page but just reads "Migrate Application, Step 2 of 3". Bug 23033573: Screen reader does not read out the contents of the Insert Hook Handler dialog when extension.xml is opened and the Hook Handlers tab is selected. Bug 23031021: Opening a file list and choosing the 'Date Modified' option, displays current system date. But attempting to navigate using arrow keys to the next date, month or year causes the screen reader to incorrectly read out the previous date shown instead of the current selection. Bug 22917634: The window title for all the windows within JDeveloper are not read by the screen reader. If a window is already open, then the screen reader reads "Edit". If the window is opened for the first time, then the screen reader does not say anything at all. Bug 22392977: Screen reader does not read out items when using Ctrl+Tab to move between views in JDeveloper. In addition, the keyboard actions (up/down) closes this dialog when the screen reader is running.

1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA)	Not Supported	This product has not yet been evaluated for this criteria
2.1.1 Keyboard(Level A)	Partially Supports	The product was tested for: ability to perform functions from the keyboard only logical movement of focus through the controls proper operation of unique keystrokes, including those listed in the product documentation Usability information: There are a few non-standard workarounds for issues that occur when we try to debug any test program: The first is that, the 'Monitors' window that is opened while debugging a given test program cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. Similarly, when a variable is chosen and the Inspectors window is opened while debugging a test program, this window cannot be closed using the standard keyboard operations. The workaround for both these issues is to use 'Ctrl+Space' to open the context menu for the child window and select close. Another issue that occurs while debugging, only when a screen reader and Java Access Bridge are enabled is that: When we open the debugger logging window, we are not able to access the search field or the terminate button using the standard keyboard operations in this window. One workaround is to use ‘Shift+Tab’. Using ‘Shift+Tab’ twice gets us to the terminate button and ‘Space’ activates it. Using it thrice puts us in the search field. Another workaround is to use ‘Ctrl+Tab’ to set the focus in the Debugging log window, and the focus is initially on the search field. The next ‘Tab’ takes us to the Terminate button and hitting ‘Space’ terminates the debugging session. When the screen reader is not enabled, the standard keyboard operations work fine. Exceptions: Bug 23040062: Screen reader does not read toolbar buttons when navigating using the keyboard.

2.4.1 Bypass Blocks(Level A)	Supports	Oracle non-Web software products, including bundles and suites of software, do not behave as a set of software programs as the term is defined. Therefore this guideline does not apply.
2.4.2 Page Titled(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: The name of the software application is meaningful.
2.4.3 Focus Order(Level A)	Partially Supports	The product was tested for: Logical movement through the focusable components using only the keyboard, in an order that follows a meaningful sequence, as per the Appendix A Keyboard Shortcuts, Mnemonics, and Other Keyboard Operations section of the Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines, or where appropriate the WAI-ARIA Keyboard Bindings and Behaviors, or other keyboard operation as documented in the product documentation. Exceptions: Bug 22937769: Pressing the 'Remove' button to remove a classpath entry from 'Run Ant Target -> Advanced -> Classpath' dialog, incorrectly shifts focus to the next checkbox component - 'Include Jar Files from User Home'. Bug 22930661: In the Import Maven Projects dialog, pressing the spacebar to activate the Refresh button shifts the focus to the 'Also import source files into application' checkbox.
