evaluation • Consultation regarding accessibility and usability policy• Compliance and usability testing for purchased, promoted, or supported (PPS)

campus software. (based on campus impact) • Maintaining a vetted, centralized repository of ATI training material• Research, identify or create compliance standard application coding

techniques.• Compliance testing of websites, software and electronic devices.

Protocols for Compliance & Usability Testing Level One

• Review VPAT information for egregious barriers.

• Consider Campus or System Wide Impact of the product.

• If egregious issues found, conduct manual testing to validate claims or lack of accuracy based on Impact considerations.

• Share VPAT back to the vendor with additional UDC comments.

Level Two

• Limited criteria validation based on application type

• Examples:• Web form applications

(form fields labels, input mask, error handling)

• Basic web page (link & semantic requirements, tab order and images)

• Complex web navigation pages (all previously listed criteria plus keyboard accessibility, tables, CSS, navigation, scripting and Assistive Technology testing ).

• Concurrently: Run Compliance Sheriff (C.S.) level IV scan based on appropriate check points. Use as a guide for manual checking.

• Recommendations and resources provided.

Level Three

• Criteria validation based on CSU ATI Check Points and full UDC Testing Guide implementation.

• Comprehensive testing (all previously listed criteria plus usability testing )

• Applications have coding that requires additional research and reiterative testing of coding solutions validation.

• Detailed recommendations and resources provided.

• Concurrently: Run C.S. level IV scan with manual testing.

• As needed provide actual coding or work around for end user.
