This paper presents results of an accessibility evaluation carried out with web-based map applications. Three points of view were considered: experts on accessibility, evaluation tools and final users (partially or totally blind people). The document WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) provided us with guidelines for evaluation and GQM (Goal, Question and Metric) approach was used to define and set measurable goals. A number of problems was identified and none of the evaluated applications entirely meet the analyzed criteria. 1
This paper describes the execution of three accessibility evaluations on web-based map applications. Assessments based on expert reviews, tools and end users were performed, using the WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and analyzing its Level A success criteria. To define and set measurable goals, the GQM Approach (Goal-Question-Metric) was utilized. It was found that none of the evaluated applications reaches this level, since they do not entirely meet the analyzed criteria, according to the evaluations performed.
