Email: ITI Comments on First Public Working Draft of W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0 (7 - automation compliance level

jspellman commented 3 years ago

Inclusion of a compliance level or mechanism that only depends upon automated/automatable tests rather than needing human judgement and review. Such a compliance level or mechanism might be an ever-rising bar, that ratchets up over time as machine learning and other techniques allow more comprehensive automated testing. We believe this is particularly important for the very largest and most dynamic of websites and web applications, such as those driven primarily by user-generated content, and which may be receiving more than 100m updates per day (more than 50k updates per second).
