For the authoring tool user interface:

  1. If the authoring tool is entirely web-based (i.e. lacking any functionality that runs outside of a user agent), then select SKIP.
  2. If the non-web-based parts include editing views (as opposed to only a file uploader, etc.), then load the accessible test content file (any level).
  3. If the accessibility guideline (for the platform) that was used by the developer is known, this should be used to test the accessibility of the user interface. If the user interface has followed the guidelines, then select PASS, otherwise select FAIL.
  4. If the accessibility guideline (for the platform) that was used by the developer is not known, choose the most relevant from this list of user interface accessibility guidelines for various platforms and use it to test the accessibility of the user interface. If you find instances where the user interface has not followed the guidelines, then select FAIL, otherwise select PASS.
