ARC Accessibility Test Initiatives
Establish and Measure Progress with Clear Accessibility Test Initiatives
Customize Accessibility Policies
Define accessibility policies based on your environment to achieve your conformance goals. Automate the measurement against those goals.
Standardize the Policy
Use these test initiatives to drive meaningful changes in operational behavior by creating clear, consistent, and measurable targets.
Integrate with ARC API
Simplify and automate accessibility testing in a typical CI/CD pipeline against defined accessibility policies.
Celebrate the Wins
Know when you achieve success and let contributors and stakeholders know the positive impacts being made.
Know Precisely What You Need to Achieve and How You are Performing Against those Goals
Accessibility conformance can seem like a murky and moving target as the WCAG guidelines can be open to interpretations making it difficult to know how you are actually progressing and when you achieve a goal.
ARC Test Initiatives simplifies this by giving program managers and stakeholders the ability to establish clear policies across the organization and automate the data capture towards achieving those goals.
See How ARC Test Initiatives Work
Step 1:
- Review your initial domain analysis or other scans and identify common failures
- Use the simple configuration options to select the failures you want to create policy around
- Set your threshold for success, whether it’s an improvement over current status or a zero-tolerance policy
Step 2:
- Quickly see how your teams are doing with your defined policies
- Measure progress and report on successes
- Use this data to demonstrate achieving conformance goals
ARC Test Initiatives are a critical tool for firms looking to achieve long-term accessibility
ARC Test Initiatives are one element of an entire accessibility ecosystem: the ARC Platform. Offering trusted resources, analytics, and expert-level support, ARC Platform provides a scalable, efficient method for identifying and resolving accessibility issues.
Finally, Cross-functional Alignment on Accessibility is Easy
Reduce the confusion about what needs to be done and streamline how you are doing with those initiatives
Identify and prioritize common, recurring, and significant issues and then set an acceptance criteria policy with which new code must comply
ARC Clients can Now Use Test Initiatives with ARC API
Retrieve accessibility policies, automatically compile unit tests, perform on-demand analysis, and interface with the pipeline decision tree
