FAST Report Tool
The full framework references an analysis of user requirements, describes how technologies, content authoring, and user agents work together to meet these needs, and provides comprehensive guidance to technology developers. This checklist extracts that information at a high level to aid in self-review of technologies. Specification developers can use this to help ensure the technology will address features likely to be raised during horizontal review from accessibility proponents.
Web technologies address a variety of needs, and play a variety of roles in web accessibility. Content languages describe primary content, styling languages impact presentation, APIs enable manipulation and data interchange, and protocols tie it all together. Each of these types of technologies can impact accessibility.
Structure of this FAST reporting tool
This checklist is organized by types of features that a technology may provide. If the technology provides such a feature, the checklist items under the heading are applicable and should be examined. If the technology does not provide such a feature, the checklist items under the heading are not applicable and can be passed over.
Legend of results
As you go through and evaluate your tool, you will select a "result" for each criterion. Here is the legend of what those selections mean:
- Done
- Your specification meets this checkpoint.
- Not done
- This is relevant to your specification but has not been done.
- In progress
- This is a work in progress.
- Not applicable
- This checkpoint relates to a feature your specification does not have, it does not apply.
Tips for using this tool
