It would have been really useful if it had done what its name suggests. But it has not really looked at the tools' ability / accuracy in detecting/ correcting violations. That I believe is the essence of such a study. User interface,reporting capabilities and platforms support are addressed by the study and are useful factors for comparison when the tools being compared have similar abilities and accuracy in detecting / correcting violations. I wonder if WAI-E&R should do such a study and list strengths and weaknesses of desktop / server versions of available Web accessibility E&R tools. That will really benefit the community of accessibility developers / auditors.
