对于大多数人来说，测试是软件生命周期中必不可少的恶。一种非常重要的测试形式是根据强制性的标准或指导方针（如指定可访问性级别的标准或指导方针）对软件产品进行评估。这样的评估可能非常繁琐，特别是如果它们必须手动完成并一致地应用于应用程序的每个组件时。使用屏幕阅读器等辅助技术来证明软件产品符合一组法规是耗时、易出错且昂贵的。随着集成开发环境变得越来越复杂，可以执行这种评估的验证工具变得越来越流行，但是在可访问性验证领域，它们如果不是不存在，也是非常缺乏的。本文介绍了IBM基于规则的可访问性验证环境，这是一个基于Web的工具，用于使用非侵入性、半自动到全自动、基于规则的验证和检查来检查和验证Java富客户端GUI的可访问性。
Testing is, for most, a necessary evil in the software life cycle. One very important form of testing is the evaluation of software products according to mandated criteria or guidelines such as those that specify level of accessibility. Such evaluations can be quite tedious, especially if they must be done manually and applied consistently to each and every component of an application. The use of assistive technologies like screen readers to demonstrate the compliance of a software product to a set of regulations is time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive. Validation tools that can perform such evaluations are becoming more popular as integrated development environments become more sophisticated but, in the area of accessibility validation, they are sorely lacking if not nonexistent. This paper introduces the IBM Rule-based Accessibility Validation Environment, an Eclipse-based tool for inspecting and validating Java rich-client GUIs for accessibility using non-invasive, semi- to fully-automatic, rule-based validation and inspection.
