MACHINE FIRST APPROACH FOR IDENTIFYING ACCESSIBILITY, NON-COMPLIANCES, REMEDIATION TECHNIQUES AND FIXING AT RUN-TIME

摘要

Accessibility in software engineering is treated as expensive, time consuming and hence adoption of accessibility, is a challenge despite stringent timelines and regulatory requirements published around the world. Moreover, cost of implementing accessibility increases project cost due to manual intervention and dependency on niche skills, which is scarce in industry. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide system and method for automated identification of applicable accessibility guidelines and determination of remediation techniques for fixing issues in webpages, wherein webpages are rendered, and applicable accessibility guidelines are identified based on user interface elements (UI) comprised in the webpages. Further, content associated with rendered webpages are analyzed using the applicable accessibility applicable guidelines to identify webpage non-compliance issue(s) and remediation technique(s) thereof. Fixes for the non-compliance issues are determined based on the webpages and applied on a document object model (DOM) based on a current state associated with the webpage and/or UI elements.
