Student projects/Automatic accessibility checking
Note: This page outlines ideas for the Automatic accessibility checking project. It's a specification under construction! If you have any comments or suggestions, please add them to the page comments.
The objective of this project is to make a tool that can check Moodle´s accessibility automatically before realising a version.
Project Outline: Create a button that will pull the source and submit it to a validation service. The errors and warnings will be pulled back to the page, and displayed in a simple GUI. This will be accomplished by AJAX.
Abstract flow:
- Send Request
- Get Source
- Die (If unable to grab source)
- Submit Source
- Die (If unable to communicate with the validation server)
- Retrieve Errors
- Die (If unable to read errors)
- Display Errors
- Get Source
UML Diagram:
- Version 1
GUI:
- Version 1
Code:
- Version 1
Future Extensions:
Create code so it is easy to edit and create extensions on to it. The GUI will be easily updated to include future options.
