This is the activity page for the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT
WG), formed to assist developers in measuring the conformance of Web sites and
pages to the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines, and to make it easier to upgrade content that does
not conform.
The working group develops new tools for compliance evaluation and repair, finds
and tracks existing tools, and documents related techniques. The primary deliverables the group produces are the Techniques for
Accessibility Evaluation
and Repair Tools (AERT) specification, the Evaluation,
Repair, and Transformation Tools for Web Content Accessibility list of
existing tools, and the Evaluation And Report Language (EARL).
This Working Group also pursues such
projects as contributions to design and coding of open source software like Amaya and Mozilla, improving user agent accessibility, quality assurance activity and maintenance of validation
and syntax checking services including HTML Tidy, HTML Validator and CSS Validator.
