为了使移动应用程序或网站可访问，开发人员必须将可访问性实践纳入开发活动并进行可访问性评估。可访问性评估通常是一种手动方法，它可能艰辛，难以扩展或繁殖。通常，由于高需求和市场压力的时间，开发人员忽略了可访问性要求的实施和评估。自动化移动可访问性评估可以有所帮助，但是目前几乎没有方法和工具可用。此外，很少有研究讨论哪些可访问性指南自动评估。因此，本文的目的是调查移动应用程序的自动化可访问性评估工具，以确定可以在给定可用工具的情况下自动评估哪些可访问性属性。我们希望我们的发现将为从业者提供哪些工具可用于自动可访问性评估以及其功能是什么。通过探索当前方法的局限性，我们还讨论了开发人员几乎没有支持的地方，从而为该领域的未来研究，创新和开发提供了指导。
To make a mobile app or website accessible, developers must incorporate accessibility practices into the development activities and perform accessibility evaluations. Accessibility evaluation is usually a manual approach, which can be laborious and difficult to scale or reproduce. Often, the implementation and evaluation of accessibility requirements are overlooked by developers due to high demand and time to market pressure. Automating mobile accessibility evaluation can help, but few approaches and tools are currently available. In addition, few studies discuss for which accessibility guidelines automatic evaluation is supported. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to survey automated accessibility evaluation tools for mobile applications to identify which accessibility properties can be automatically evaluated given the available tools. We expect our findings will provide practitioners with an overview of which tools are available for automatic accessibility evaluation and what are their capabilities. By exploring the limitations of current approaches, we also discuss where developers have little support, thus providing guidance for future research, innovation and development in this field.
