In the Government of Canada, we created a tool which tests *only* those success Criteria failures which can be completely determined by automation. I estimated that about 15% of all A and AA Success Criteria could be tested for failure with complete automation. I can provide these calculations if necessary. It was simply a reporting tool, not considered a remediation tool. Karl Rove independently estimated 18% of the WCAG failure is fully discoverable by automation, so we're pretty close. I mention this because a huge automated crawl of the entire site for only those that can be automatically failed can help ensure that there is consistency between (1) representative manual pages, (2) the random pages, (3) and the fully automated crawl. I think this could be considered a component of the entire testing of the site. Cheers David MacDonald CanAdapt Solutions Inc. "Enabling the Web" www.Can-Adapt.com <http://www.can-adapt.com/>
