Abstract

A test suite is a set of tools and data to ensure quality of a software application such as a dynamic web site. Reliability of page by page web accessibility tests is difficult to achieve as this requires defining appropriate partitions of the set of all web pages. We propose a partitioning method based on additional information about reading behaviour by users especially for measuring readability and ease of navigation. An upper limit for the path length and hence size of the partition is developed. We present a test case editor to describe user group specific testing scenarios and additional types of tests.
