Abstract

Existing guidelines on Web applications development with accessibility are currently not applied by many developers. In this study, the existence and operation of accessibility features in Web authoring tools were verified. In order to do this, five authoring tools were selected to perform an analysis by inspection for several accessibility features. In the same way, a set of criteria involving the search and testing of 14 features which support developers was defined. Inspected features are directly related to the W3C documents ATAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0. As a result, important considerations about the inspection were made and it was determined that the tools already provide some support for accessibility although they are still far from ideal scenario.
