Notes:
Chapter 3: Functional Performance Criteria (FPC)
Notes:
Web: Most functions of the product are usable without vision. Exceptions include:
As noted in 1.1.1 Non-Text Content, some meaningful images do not have alternate text, and some decorative images are not hidden from assistive technologies.
As noted in 1.1.1 Non-Text Content, the accessible name of some user interface components does not describe the action they perform.
As noted in 1.3.1 Information and Relationships, some information that is provided visually is not available through semantic HTML or text.
As noted in 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence, some content is presented in the wrong sequence that affects its meaning.
As noted in 2.1.1 Keyboard, many user interface components are not accessible when using a keyboard. This includes the core functionality required to edit web pages, such as rich text editor toolbars and drag and drop functionality used to add and move components and assets.
As noted in 2.4.3 Focus Order, some user interface components do receive focus in a logical order. With some components keyboard focus is not managed well, which could be confusing and frustrating for people without vision.
As noted in 3.2.2 On Input, a switch on the CF Editor page causes a change in context without warning.
As noted in 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value, many user interface components are missing an accessible name, role or do not communicate state. Some components have the wrong role or state applied.
Web: Most of the functions of the product are usable with limited vision. Exceptions include:
As noted in 1.4.4 Resize Text, some content overruns the viewport or is covered up by sticky elements when the text is resized by 200%.
As noted in 1.4.10 Reflow, some content overruns the viewport, or in some places text truncates or overlaps when the site is viewed at 320px width.
As noted in 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum), some text does not meet the minimum contrast requirement.
As noted in 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast, some user interface components such as icons, form fields and focus styles do not meet the minimum contrast requirement for non-text objects.
Web: Most functions of the product are usable without perception of color. Exceptions include:
As described in 1.4.1 Use of Color, some user interface components use color to convey changes in state, such as when they are pressed or not pressed or receive focus using a keyboard.
As described in 1.4.3 Contrast (minimum), some text does not meet the minimum color contrast requirements.
As described in 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast, some user interface components such icons, form field border or focus styles do not meet the minimum color contrast requirements for non-text objects.
Web: Most of the functions of the product are usable with limited manipulation. Exceptions include:
As noted in 2.1.1 Keyboard, many user interface components are not accessible when using a keyboard. This includes the core functionality required to edit web pages, such as rich text editor toolbars and drag and drop functionality used to add and move components and assets. Other features such as annotations and demographics are not accessible using a keyboard.
As noted in 2.4.3 Focus Order, some user interface components do receive focus in a logical order. With some components when an action is performed, keyboard focus is lost and sent to the top of the page. Some user interface components receive focus twice because they have other components nested inside of them. These issues increase the number of tab stops needed to navigate the site, which can cause discomfort to people with limited manipulation who rely solely on keyboard to use the site.
