Group Note Draft: W3C Accessibility Guidelines Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 2.0

The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has published the first draft of a Group Note titled W3C Accessibility Guidelines Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 2.0. WCAG-EM describes a methodology with a step-by-step process to evaluate how well digital products conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2. It provides technology-agnostic guidance to define the evaluation scope, explore the target product, select a representative sample set from products, evaluate the selected sample set, and report the evaluation findings. This procedure is suitable for use in different evaluation contexts, including self-assessment and third-party evaluation.
