Audit
An Audit analyzes your organization's Information Technology (IT) systems, including Web sites, Web applications, software, and hardware, to ensure that accessibility enhancements have been implemented correctly and that your IT systems remain accessible over time. Once accessibility enhancements have been added to IT systems, an Audit checks for correct implementation, identifies any remaining accessibility errors, ensures that the IT systems are actually usable by people with disabilities and prepares for Accessibility Certification. In addition, an Audit determines whether changes in technology, standards, and legislation have impacted the accessibility status of your organization's IT systems.
Information Technology (IT) systems must be regularly tested to ensure that they remain accessible over time. As your organization's IT systems change and as accessibility standards, legislation, and assistive technologies used by people with disabilities are updated, regular Audits ensure that your organization remains accessible.
Audits can be performed on any type of IT system, including Web sites, Web applications, software, and hardware. Testing can be arranged on a one-time basis, a regular time schedule (monthly or quarterly), or as product upgrades are released.
Who Uses An Audit?
Audits are important for those involved in your organization's ongoing accessibility initiative. Audits help Product Managers, Compliance Managers, and Quality Assurance engineers ensure that enhancements were implemented correctly during the Address phase of your organization's accessibility initiative and resolve any remaining errors. An Audit is also a powerful tool for sales and marketing departments, enabling these groups to increase public sector sales through independent validation of the accessibility of your organization's IT systems.
Audit Highlights:
- Thorough testing of your organization's IT systems to identify any accessibility violations.
- Analysis of recent upgrades implemented by your organization's development team.
- Review of relevant changes in accessibility legislation, standards and technology.
- Prioritization of any accessibility errors detected.
- Evaluation of how effectively accessibility has been integrated into development processes.
