ROBOTICALLY TESTING ACCESSIBILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241819 titled 'ROBOTICALLY TESTING ACCESSIBILITY
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus and methods for automatically testing the accessibility of programs and hardware. A program is used to create a virtual test environment, run a test program, and analyze it against accessibility rules.
- The program receives configuration settings, a test program, and a set of accessibility rules.
- It automatically creates a virtual test environment based on the configuration settings.
- The test program is run within the virtual test environment and analyzed against the accessibility rules.
- If the test program fails to meet the accessibility rules, potential fixes are determined, created, and tested until the revised test program complies.
- A report is generated and transmitted to describe the test results.
Key Features and Innovation: - Automated testing of program and hardware accessibility - Creation of virtual test environments - Analysis of test programs against accessibility rules - Automatic generation of potential fixes - Report generation for test results
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in software development, hardware testing, quality assurance, and accessibility compliance testing.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining accessibility testing processes - Ensuring programs and hardware meet accessibility standards - Automating the generation of potential fixes
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in accessibility testing - Improved compliance with accessibility regulations - Enhanced user experience for individuals with disabilities
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include software development companies, hardware manufacturers, accessibility compliance consultants, and quality assurance firms.
Questions about Accessibility Testing Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of accessibility testing processes? 2. What are the key benefits of using automated testing for accessibility compliance?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in automated accessibility testing technology to ensure compliance with evolving accessibility standards and regulations.
Original Abstract Submitted
apparatus and methods for automatically testing accessibility of programs and hardware are provided. a program may receive configuration settings, a test program, and a set of accessibility rules. the program may automatically create a virtual test environment according to the configuration settings. the program may automatically run the test program within the virtual test environment and analyze the test program against the accessibility rules. when the test program fails to meet one or more of the accessibility rules, the program may determine, create, and test potential fixes until the revised test program meets all of the accessibility rules. the program may generate and transmit a report describing the results of any test.
