Protocols for Compliance & Usability Testing Level One Review VPAT information for egregious barriers. Consider Campus or System Wide Impact of the product. If egregious issues found, conduct manual testing to validate claims or lack of accuracy based on Impact considerations. Share VPAT back to the vendor with additional UDC comments. Level Two Limited criteria validation based on application type Examples: Web form applications (form fields labels, input mask, error handling) Basic web page (link & semantic requirements, tab order and images) Complex web navigation pages (all previously listed criteria plus keyboard accessibility, tables, CSS, navigation, scripting and Assistive Technology testing ). Concurrently: Run Compliance Sheriff (C.S.) level IV scan based on appropriate check points. Use as a guide for manual checking. Recommendations and resources provided. Level Three Criteria validation based on CSU ATI Check Points and full UDC Testing Guide implementation. Comprehensive testing (all previously listed criteria plus usability testing ) Applications have coding that requires additional research and reiterative testing of coding solutions validation. Detailed recommendations and resources provided. Concurrently: Run C.S. level IV scan with manual testing. As needed provide actual coding or work around for end user.
