Development
Life-cycle Solutions
for Compliance
Management, Testing
and Remediation
In addition to HiSoftware’s
Enterprise Web
Governance and
Compliance Solution,
HiSoftware
Compliance Sheriff™,
we also offer
interactive,
on-demand Developers
Desktop Solutions
that allow
developers and
content providers to
test/repair content
prior to publishing
in the production
environment. By
building
Accessibility and
over-all compliance
testing into the
development
life-cycle,
HiSoftware's
Developers Desktop
Solutions can reduce
the overall cost of
meeting these
compliance
challenges, rather
than waiting to
report these issues
on the production
site, or worse, have
your customers
report the issue.
This allows the
developers to learn
the skill-sets
required to meet
organizational and
regulatory
standards, as part
of their normal
unit-testing
process.
AccRepair for
Desktop Test
Management
and Remediation
AccRepair® includes AccVerify®
to provide a complete onDemand Developers Desktop
test management system that enables users to
validate and repair content as part of the
development life-cycle for compliance with
standards-based and organizational policies for Web
accessibility, privacy, content defects, usability testing, search engine
effectiveness, site inventory and site maintenance.
It provides a unified approach that will meet the
demands of both your executive and technical
constituencies, by allowing your organization's
experts and/or policy managers to define
organizational policies and then provide a solution
to validate compliance with these policies, so that
you know exactly why your content has passed or
failed.
Comprehensive Reporting
AccRepair provides an integrated
digital dashboard that incorporates streamlined
report viewers and preview modes so users can test
their pages for optimal performance under variable
end-user scenarios. The reporting system provides
easy access to executive level summary reports so
that IT managers can obtain quick status reports
within the application interface. Detailed analysis
for developers and quality assurance teams is
available using the same highly customizable
interface.
Integrated Preview Modes
Preview modes provide users with
an integrated facility to test pages for
functionality; html validation, without images,
without color, without style sheet support, and in a
"linear" fashion. Preview modes are managed through
both an embedded browser as well as through the
user's system default browser.
Database Recorders
Database recorders enhance team
development and collaboration. Test results are
recorded and include a history that allows you to
identify the "pass-fail" status of a project
on-demand for a specific point in time, or to track
the progress of the project over time. You can
identify "phases" of the project by author, time,
date, department, and more. Create reports based on
information in the database too. Users can work
collaboratively to manage their testing efforts
through shared Recorder databases.
Testing for Global and Custom
Quality Factors
AccVerify provides
"out-of-the-box" testing and reporting for
standards-based Accessibility, Privacy, Metadata and
Usability compliance factors. It also allows users
to define and conduct custom tests. The result is a
complete and concise report on the accessibility,
quality and policy compliance status of content that
has been tested.
AccRepair users can:
-
Test for Accessibility and
Usability: Section 508, WCAG 1.0, CLF,
XAG and any standard derived from WCAG or
Section 508; Section 208; Operational Security
Standard (OPSEC)
-
Test for compliance with
custom guidelines and policies for all content
including but not limited to: HTML, XHTML, SVG,
XML and any other text or element based content

VBScript, and other text or element based
content

Searchability, Metadata Policy and Usability
Custom Check and Report
Builder
The Custom Checkpoint Editor and
Custom Report Editor allow users to define specific
accessibility, usability, searchability, privacy and
other custom content quality factors validation. This
extends the validation system provided in AccVerify
to meet any specific need not covered by a publicly
available standard or guideline. Test features,
formats and customization can be pre-configured by
an organization's experts and/or policy managers so
that developers, quality assurance professionals and
other content creators within the organization,
using AccRepair, can simply run these programmatic
tests and receive a result, without any requirement
for software configuration.
No HTML Programming Required
For Wizard-Based Repairs
AccRepair guides you through
steps to achieve accessibility for your Web content.
Using a wizard format, AccRepair locates
inaccessible Web elements and then prompts you to
correct them. With AccRepair, you don't have to be
an expert in HTML, the Wizard inserts the information
you provide into the source code for you. The Wizard
also includes a spell-check feature.
Library Database Facilitates
Collaboration
HiSoftware uses database
technology to repair Web elements. When you repair a
Web element using AccRepair, the information is
stored in the library database. This database allows
AccRepair to "remember" the element and repair it
automatically. Many users can contribute to the same
database, and can share the database to repair Web
files. User collaboration through sharing of the
library database increases the power of the program,
while the user workload is cut to a fraction.
Table Utility
The Table Utility lets you make
tables accessible without requiring you to edit the
source code. The utility includes: identification of
each table as a data or layout table, help with
adding the summary attribute and caption tag,
Headers ID List Wizard for adding the id attribute
to header cells, Headers Wizard for adding the
headers attribute to header cells, Axis Wizard for
adding the axis attribute to categorize cells, Scope
Wizard for adding the scope attribute to row/column
headers, and row grouping for head, body, and foot
sections.
