“…Assessment Tools. Three online web accessibility evaluation tools were employed: MAUVE++ [32], Siteimprove [33], and WAVE [34]. These tools have seen wide use in the literature [35][36][37][38][39][40] and all of them are listed by the W3C as appropriate for evaluation against the WCAG 2.1 guidelines [15].…”

Innovations in financial services have given rise to Financial Technology (FinTech) as a disruptive technology which is now shaping the future of the financial sector through services like crowdfunding, peer-to-peer loans, and alternative underwriting platforms. Given the status of the web as a vital information resource, accessible and usable online FinTech services can aid people with disabilities in taking full advantage of the presented financial services to support them in basic needs like accessing high-quality care. This study set out to analyze the accessibility and usability of 32 Saudi FinTech websites by means of various automated tools and manual inspection. The results revealed the investigated websites to have a significant number of accessibility and usability problems that cause prejudice against disabled individuals and foster an overall poor user experience. Thus, more work is needed to disseminate knowledge about the importance of developing suitable FinTech websites and services to assist disabled people.

“…This presented tool can provide both single page and multipage validations and report in different formats and for other types of users according to WCAG 2.1 guidelines. Vargas et al [24] proposed to use WCAG 2.1 guidelines through automated and manual review methods. After the analysis, suggestions for the mobile application developers were provided so that mobile application accessibility could be improved in the development stage.…”

The growth of users' reliance on smartphones increases as new features and functions are continuously added to these technologies. Accessibility is an essential characteristic of information architecture in interface design research. There is a need to focus on accessibility to minimize the efforts, cost, and time during mobile application design and development. Most of the applications available on the App/Play Store lack the accessibility guidelines during development because implementing these aspects requires sufficient time and resources. Especially start-up companies normally ignore accessibility because it requires additional resources. However, perceivable design may increase profits, downloads, and reputation. Thus, the designer should ensure that their applications are perceivable and usable to satisfy the individuals. The underlying research intends to develop an automated accessibility analysis and design evaluation tool for mobile applications. Accordingly, the researchers developed a solution as a plugin for Figma. Further, the authors selected seven important techniques from the WCAG 2.1 success criterion. Finally, the proposed solution evaluates the designed screen (frame) and generates results in the report form. The proposed automated solution based on the success criterion helps the application's developers and is also useful for related stakeholders by filling the gap in the existing design related tools.

“…A newer version of MAUVE, called MAUVE++, has also been extended to support the WCAG 2.1 and was compared to the WAVE tool Broccia et al (2020). MAUVE++ still uses the LWGD for specifying the rules to check.…”

The web has become the primary source of information for many people. Many services are provided on the web. Despite extensive guidelines for the accessibility of web pages, many websites are not accessible, making these websites difficult or impossible to use for people with disabilities. Evaluating the accessibility of web pages can either be done manually, which is a very laborious task, or by using automated tools. Unfortunately, the results from different tools are often inconsistent because of the ambiguity of the current guidelines. In this paper, a declarative approach for describing the requirements for accessible web pages is presented. This declarative model can help developers of accessibility evaluation tools to create tools that produce more consistent results and are easier to maintain.
