Email: Oracle feedback on WCAG 3.0 FPWD (2 - Scoring) #463

Comment from Email:

Scoring While the example guidelines included a lot of detail, the information regarding scoring is throughout the document leading to a lot of confusion on how it would really work. Having an alternative to pass/fail is a requirement when it comes to applying WCAG to complex enterprise level products, but it needs to be done in a way that everyone can understand. Additionally, the methods used for scoring are complex since each outcome will have its own scoring scale. The impact to testing groups for the amount of data that must be recorded, and tracking which scale is to be used on each outcome is going to lead to extensive time being spent on just tracking statistics of testing. We recommend a simplified scoring methodology be created to reduce this overhead.
