Resumo
The constant evolution of all Web related
technologies, and the considerable adoption of these
technologies in our society’s everyday life, has brought to the
discussion table the ability of these Web technologies and Web
contents to become accessible to all, including those with some
sort of disability. During the past years, a research project has
been executed in order to, not only give the Web accessibility
topic more visibility within our society, but also to achieve
indicators on the levels of accessibility presented by privately
held company websites. Considering the growing need to
rapidly achieve Web accessibility indicators, whose complexity
has significantly increased, the research team inherent to the
referred project developed a software platform, entitled
“AccessWeb Barometer”, that has the ability to perform Web
accessibility evaluations to multiple websites in simultaneous. It
also has the ability to analyze and publish the results inherent to
those evaluations, and to allow its users to create their own
analysis and dashboards. In this paper, we present the
AccessWeb Barometer software platform architecture, its
overall characterization and validation, and also the possibilities
of what a platform like this can bring to Web content developers
and to organizations worldwide.
