Methods for analyzing recurring accessibility issues with dynamic web site behavior and devices thereof

An accessibility analysis device, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to:

• generate an event listener hash value for each of a plurality of event listeners identified in a runtime environment for a web page in response to a request for an accessibility review of the web page, wherein the event listener hash values are generated at least in part from event listener data extracted from source code of the web page corresponding to the identified event listeners;
• determine that a first subset of the plurality of event listeners are irrelevant to the accessibility review based on a classification of the first subset of the plurality of event listeners, wherein the classification is identified based on a comparison of the event listener hash values to stored event listener hash values;
• generate an element hash value for each of a plurality of elements of the web page associated with a second subset of the plurality of event listeners determined to be relevant to the accessibility review, wherein each of the plurality of elements is associated with one of a plurality of accessibility issues;
• and
• generate and output to a client device for display an interactive issue report including a review for each of a third subset of the plurality of accessibility issues retrieved based on a comparison of the generated element hash values to stored element hash values, wherein the retrieved reviews are correlated in the interactive issue report with the third subset of the plurality of accessibility issues.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for evaluating web site accessibility comprising executable code which when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:

• generate an event listener hash value for each of a plurality of event listeners identified in a runtime environment for a web page in response to a request for an accessibility review of the web page, wherein the event listener hash values are generated at least in part from event listener data extracted from source code of the web page corresponding to the identified event listeners;
• determine that a first subset of the plurality of event listeners are irrelevant to the accessibility review based on a classification of the first subset of the plurality of event listeners, wherein the classification is identified based on a comparison of the event listener hash values to stored event listener hash values;
• generate an element hash value for each of a plurality of elements of the web page associated with a second subset of the plurality of event listeners determined to be relevant to the accessibility review, wherein each of the plurality of elements is associated with one of a plurality of accessibility issues;
• and
• generate and output to a client device for display an interactive issue report including a review for each of a third subset of the plurality of accessibility issues retrieved based on a comparison of the generated element hash values to stored element hash values, wherein the retrieved reviews are correlated in the interactive issue report with the third subset of the plurality of accessibility issues.
