Web Accessibility In Mind. Raakt - The Ruby Accessibility Analysis Kit - RAAKT. Raakt is a web accessibility analysis tool that makes it easy to integrate basic accessibility evaluation early in the development process.
This means that you will save time (and money) as basic technical accessibility issues can be caught automatically as part of your automated test procedure. What separates Raakt from other accessibility evaluation tools is that only Tests that are machine verifiable are included. The emphasis is on finding inaccessible stuff. It does not pretend to be able to tell you that your site is accessible (no automated tool can do that). Raakt can be used by developers with limited web accessibility knowledge and fits into their regular suite of tests. Paste the code below into a text file (Some free advice: don’t name your test file “raakt.rb”). Quickstart Getting started with Raakt is easy: Using Raakt in your development environment Raakt is meant to be part of your automated HTML unit tests (or acceptance tests or functional tests or what you call them).
