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.
AccVerify for Desktop Test
Management
AccVerify is an
on-demand Developers
Desktop test
management solution.
It enables users to
validate content for
compliance with
standards-based and
unique
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.
Reporting
AccVerify provides
integrated report
views and preview
modes so users can
test their pages for
optimal performance
under variable
end-user scenarios.
The reporting system
provides easy access
to high level
pass/fail summary reports so
that IT managers can
obtain quick status
reports within the
application
interface. Detailed
page level analysis for
developers and
quality assurance
teams is available
with an additional
click through the
same interface.
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. You can 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

Factors
AccVerify provides
"out-of-the-box"
testing and
reporting for
Accessibility,
Privacy, Metadata

complete and concise
report on the total
accessibility,
quality and policy
compliance status of
content that has
been tested. The

services, workflow

Interaction Builder
AccVerify provides
allow users to
create different
types of test
automation,
including record and
playback of macros
or scripts. They
enable enterprises
to manage Web site
resources more
effectively and
better understand
the impact of those
resources on Web
site quality, making
it the solution of
choice for testing
e-commerce Web
applications, online
reservation systems,
e-learning systems
and any Web site or
Web based
application that
requires input from
a user to negotiate
the application.
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
AccVerify, can
simply run these
programmatic tests
and receive a
result, without any
requirement for
software
configuration.
Integrated Preview
Modes
Preview modes
provide users with
an integrated
facility to test
pages for
functionality;
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.
Validate Simple and
Complex Files
AccVerify can test
local files or
directories; Web
files, directories,
and sites; FTP
files, directories,
and sites; and file
lists that are
created with File
List Builder, a tool
that comes bundled
with the software.
File selection
utilities can be
automated to perform
folder scans,
selecting all of the
Web files in a
directory or site
for accessibility
testing. AccVerify
can spider through
secure and
password-protected
sites-maintaining
security through
industry standard
encryption
processes. With new
scripting features,
the workspace, along
with a comprehensive
script builder will
provide instant
access to all your
needed scripts on
demand. And because
different users
prefer different
settings, the
AccVerify and
AccRepair Systems
can set to
optionally show the
active script
repository. Advanced
processing
operations allow the
system to manage
memory and process
balance delivering
an easy-to-use
front-end designed
for end-user
handling. The
AccVerify system
continuously
fine-tunes the use
of cache, validation
and reporting
processes to feed
the computer with
all the tasks that
it can handle.
Optional Plug-In
Functionality for
Repairs
Users can add
additional
functionality that
allows for
programmatic repair.
The AccRepair,
integrated repair
libraries speed the
remediation process.
Components for
management of
multimedia
captioning and
metatag generation
are easily
accessible within
the system console,
making Web quality
management a
seamless workflow
for software users.
Extend and Integrate
into Your Systems
The
AccVerify API allows
Systems Integrators
and Users to
integrate AccVerify
into their content
management or
testing
architectures thus
providing the
ability to run
policy verification
and repair solutions
as part of the
process from within
their content
delivery system.
Additionally,
organizations that
utilize proprietary
content creation
systems can
incorporate
AccVerify functions
into these systems
without exposing
their Intellectual
Property outside of
the organization.
