Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.0 - October 2017

Name of Product:

Mobile Application Framework 2.4.0.0.0

Product Description:

This VPAT covers the Mobile Application Framework (MAF).

This VPAT does not cover issues when developing with ADF Faces Components or ADF Mobile Browser (aka Apache Trinidad) components.

MAF is capable of rendering content as described below, when an application developer uses it according to guidance provided in the documentation, and follows all other applicable accessibility standards and guidelines.

MAF accessibility is achieved using WAI-ARIA. Different mobile platforms and versions support WAI-ARIA to varying degrees; your MAF Accessibility experience will be greatly influenced by a given platform's support.  We always recommend using the latest supported system.  For latest supported releases go to Oracle Technical Network (www.oracle.com/technetwork), search on "MAF Certification", and use the link that corresponds to your release.

Date:

15-Sep-2017

Archive Note:

This VPAT applies to only version 2.4.0.0.0 prior to 21-Feb-2020. It does not apply to any versions of Mobile Application Framework after this. This VPAT has been superseded by Mobile Application Framework 2.4.0.0.0 (Updated).

Evaluation Methods Used:

Oracle's policy is to design, develop and test both products and documentation to be accessible. The recommended styles of testing for accessibility include: (i) algorithmic automated tests, (ii) human judgement tests such as tool-assisted tests, visual inspection and manual operation, and (iii) testing with assistive technology by people with and without disabilities. Additional information about Oracle's accessibility program is available on http://www.oracle.com/corporate/accessibility/index.html
