Paper Abstract:
|
In this article, it is intended to analyze and evaluate the Hominere mobile application regarding its accessibility through manual assessment and automatic tools, guided by the accessibility criteria defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The automated evaluation with the support of various tools (WAVE - Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool, Access Monitor and SortSite Accessibility Checker and Validator) allowed the authors to identify common accessibility problems, such as missing or mislabeled buttons, non-descriptive links, or inaccessible images. The manual evaluation was complemented with TalkBack allowed the identification of specific accessibility problems that automated tools cannot detect, such as complex user interactions or problems related to visual design and layout. With the evaluation and its analysis, it was possible to identify solutions for the problems presented to make the application more inclusive and accessible, and also to verify that the selected accessibility strategy evaluation is effective and appropriated and can be replicated in the accessibility evaluation of other mobile apps. |
