UAAG 2.0 Guidelines
NOTE: These tests apply to browsers and media players - both embedded and software players.
PRINCIPLE 1: Perceivable
Guideline 1.1: Alternative content
These success criteria all involve preference settings - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.2: Missing content
These success criteria all involve preference settings - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.3: Highlighting
These success criteria all involve preference settings - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.4: Text configuration
These success criteria all involve preference settings - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.5: Volume configuration
Controlling the volume of individual audio tracks - ???
Guideline 1.6: Synthesized speech configuration
Controls for speech characteristics (rate, volume, pitch, range) and features such as a user defined dictionary, spell-out, options for speaking numbers and punctuation. - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.7: Style sheets configuration
Features to select, apply or turn off author or user supplied stylesheets - probably self-describing
Guideline 1.8: Viewports
- Self-Described: customizing the look of the viewport highlighting
- Semi-Automated or Automated: when the focus or selection is changed, the viewport content moves so that the focus is at least partially in view.
- Semi-Automated or Automated: the viewport can be resized, overriding author intent
- ??? : provides scrollbars for container overflow, overriding author.
- Automated: back button restores previous input focus or selection
- ???: user can close any top level window
- Self-Described: preference settings for "open on request" ,"do not take focus", "same ui"
- probably Self-Described : the user can determine the viewport position in the full rendered content
Guideline 1.9: Focus
Guideline 1.10: Source views
- Self-Described: provide view of text source code
- Self-Described: provide outline view of content using structural labels
- Self-Described: preference/feature for configuring "important" elements for navigation (headings, tables, bookmarks, etc)
Guideline 1.11: Links
- tbd

- WCAG tests for the content
- Automated??? for the user interface
2.1.2 Specify preferred keystrokes
- Self-Described: preference/feature
2.1.3 No keyboard trap
- Self-Described: feature identification (3 ways to move focus out of trap)
2.1.4 Separate Selection from Activation
- Self-Described: preference/feature
2.1.5 Standard Text Area Navigation Conventions
Guideline 2.2: Event handlers
Guideline 2.3: Time-independence
