Digital accessibility is the practice of ensuring that NYU websites, web applications, and digital content can be used by our community who have a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight, or cognitive abilities.
NYU WCAG 2.0 Testing Standards
Introduction
Automated testing alone does not fully determine whether or not web content is accessible. Therefore, it is important to perform a manual assessment of your web content.
We have developed a set of testing standards to help you carry out manual evaluations of your web content. The tests are based on the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA, the standard NYU has adopted.
Note: The testing protocol does not provide recommendations to fix accessibility issues; it is intended for testing purposes only.
