Estimation of web accessibility assessment and remediation efforts

One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computing device to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving an indication of one or more indicated web accessibility standards to be included a total standard test effort estimate;
• receiving one or more web page counts corresponding to the one or more web pages;
• calculating standard test effort estimates for respective of the one or more indicated web accessibility standards, the standard test effort estimates being based at least in part on test factors associated with the indicated one or more web accessibility standards;
• calculating the total test effort estimate based at least in part on the standard test effort estimates and the one or more web page counts;
• calculating a total test effort estimate based at least in part on the total standard test effort estimate and the one or more web page counts;
• calculating a reuse effort estimate based on the total effort estimate;
• calculating a web accessibility assessment and remediation effort estimate for the one or more web pages based at least in part on the total test effort estimate:,
• wherein respective of the indicated one or more web accessibility standards comprise a plurality of individual guidelines;
• and
• receiving an indication of one or more of the plurality of individual guidelines to be included in the standard test effort estimates, wherein respective of the plurality of individual guidelines are associated with one or more of a plurality of priority or success criteria levels;
• wherein the plurality of individual guidelines comprising one or more sub-guidelines, the test factors being further associated with the one or more sub-guidelines, the receiving the indication of one or more of the plurality of individual guidelines comprising receiving an indication of at least one of the one or more sub-guidelines to be included in standard test effort estimates and receiving an indication of at least one of the one or more of the plurality of priority or success criteria levels for at least one of the individual guidelines, the test factors further being associated with the indicted at least one of the one or more of the plurality of priority or success criteria levels for at least one of the individual guidelines;
• and
• wherein the standard test effort estimates being based at least in part on the test factors associated with the indicated at least one of the one or more sub-guidelines and associated with the indicated at least one of the one or more of the plurality of priority or success criteria levels for the at least one of the individual guidelines.

A computer-implemented framework for calculating web accessibility assessment and remediation efforts for one or more web pages, the framework comprising:

• one or more first spreadsheets associated with one or more web accessibility standards, the one or more first spreadsheets comprising:
• a plurality of individual guidelines for respective of the one or more web accessibility standards, wherein respective of the plurality of individual guidelines are associated with one or more of a plurality of priority or success criteria levels;
• one or more test factors associated with respective of the plurality of individual guidelines, the plurality of individual guidelines comprising one or more sub-guidelines associated with the one or more test factors;
• a first indication means for a user to indicate one or more of the plurality of individual guidelines for inclusion in one or more standard test effort estimates, to indicate at least one of the one or more sub-guidelines for inclusion in the one or more standard test effort estimates, and to indicate at least one of the one or more of the plurality of priority or success criteria levels associated with at least one of the one or more plurality of individual guidelines, the one or more first spreadsheets being configured to calculate the one or more standard test effort estimates based at least in part on the one or more test factors associated with the at least one of the one or more of the plurality of individual guidelines associated with the indicated at least one of the one or more of the plurality of priority or success criteria levels and associated with the indicated at least one of the one or more sub-guidelines;
• a second spreadsheet comprising a second indication means for a user to indicate at least one of the one or more web accessibility standards for inclusion in a total test effort estimate, the second spreadsheet being configured to:
• receive one or more web page counts;
• and
• calculate the total test effort estimate based on the one or more web page counts and the one or more standard test effort estimates calculated by the one or more first spreadsheets;
• and
• a third spreadsheet being configured to calculate a web accessibility assessment and remediation effort estimate based on the total test effort estimate.
