In terms of people looking into this there’s the Automated WCAG Monitoring Community Group: https://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/ From: Steve Faulkner [mailto:faulkner.steve@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2015 8:03 AM To: w3c-wai-gl@w3.org; Richard Schwerdtfeger Subject: automated wcag validation rules Hi all, had a brief discussion with Rich s about a minumum set of automated conformance criteria Problem: many automated tools claim to test wcag criteria, but there is no standardized set (to my knowledge) of conformance criteria rules that can be checked using automated software. This has lead to a range of tools claiming to test WCAG conformance when in fact some requirements are out of step/incorrect. Has there been any work/discussion on producing a standardized set of machine testable wcag2 conformance criteria that any tool claiming to be testing wcag conformance can be tested against? -- Regards SteveF HTML 5.1<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/>
