“…A tool called AccTrace (Eclipse plugin) was developed by Branco et al [36] in order to allow traceability of accessibility requirements and provide relevant information for the developer in building accessible products. Making use of the tool, it is possible to evolve the accessibility requirements up to the software coding phase.…”

Due to difficulties faced by people with disabilities, it is necessary to provide all citizens with mechanisms to guarantee the accessibility of information and services offered through the internet. This study aims to identify which models and tools support developers in the software coding phase in order to meet accessibility requirements. The data obtained were extracted from the literature and were evaluated with professionals working with information technology. It was possible to conclude that taking accessibility into account throughout the software development cycle from the early stages, as well as having models and tools that help during the software coding process are essential to succeed in creating accessible products.

Product development is facing new challenges due to increasingly complex and individualized products in small batch sizes and short time to markets at high quality standards. Integrated product data management along with systematic requirements engineering and early stakeholder involvement are known to be key enablers for the success of future product development. In software development, established platforms such as GitHub exist, which have been shown to improve stakeholder communication, requirements elicitation, and software design decisions. In product development, similar platforms exist with impressive functionality, but which have some drawbacks such as closed source licenses, vendor-specific data formats, and expert-level user interfaces. To overcome the current situation, we study how the ideas of GitHub can be translated to an open source solution for product development and which concepts can be reused or must be changed. Core deliverables of our work are (1) an integrated data model of requirements (or design tasks), project schedules, and revisions of computer-aided design (CAD) models as well as (2) an interface model.

“…According to Martins et al [14] and Gambino et al [24], there is a clear necessity for accessible software and, as a consequence, for technical and functional knowledge on how to incorporate the widely publicized and available accessibility requirements. As already argued within the existing literature, developers tend to lack the necessary skills to both understand and implement the needed accessibility requirements [25]. Also, and as argued by Baptista et al [5] and Inal et al [26], the exiting standards and guidelines on the topic tend to be very complex and difficult to understand, thus making the developers' task even harder.…”

Equal access to all software and digital content should be a reality in the Digital Era. This argument is something defended both by existing regulations, norms and standards, and also business organizations and governments. Despite this acknowledgement, the reality is still far from the desired equality. For certain groups of disabled or impaired citizens, such as the visually impaired, the existence of e-accessibility compliance represents an opportunity to integrate, in a more simple and straightforward manner, their societies. Despite the existing poor results on e-accessibility compliance, the mentioned citizens insist on using digital devices in their daily lives. Even though, in the last decade, multiple standards and regulations have been published towards indicating how to develop accessible digital user interfaces, there are still two major issues surrounding its implementation: the complexity and disparity of the documents containing the abovementioned norms, and also the lack of e-accessibility know-how by software experts. With this in mind, a proposal for an accessible software development model that encompasses e-accessibility incorporation as one of the development process activities has been presented. This model might represent a very interesting support tool for software development organizations and a novel resource for learning and training institutions to be able to improve their computer science and informatics students' skills on e-accessibility.
