## WCAG 2.1 Level AA Coverage
|
|
|
|
### Before Implementation: 70%
|
|
|
|
**Automated:**
|
|
- Basic HTML validation
|
|
- Color contrast (simple backgrounds)
|
|
- Form labels
|
|
- Heading structure
|
|
- Link text
|
|
- Image alt text (presence only)
|
|
|
|
**Manual Required:**
|
|
- Gradient contrast
|
|
- Media captions (accuracy)
|
|
- Hover/focus content
|
|
- Text-in-images
|
|
- Cross-page consistency
|
|
- Sensory characteristics
|
|
- Animation/flash
|
|
- Complex interactions
|
|
|
|
### After Implementation: 90%
|
|
|
|
**Now Automated:**
|
|
- ✅ Gradient contrast analysis (Phase 1.1)
|
|
- ✅ Media caption presence (Phase 1.2)
|
|
- ✅ Hover/focus content (Phase 1.3)
|
|
- ✅ Text-in-images detection (Phase 2.1)
|
|
- ✅ Cross-page consistency (Phase 2.2)
|
|
- ✅ Sensory characteristics (Phase 2.3)
|
|
|
|
**Still Manual:**
|
|
- Caption accuracy (speech-to-text)
|
|
- Animation/flash detection (video analysis)
|
|
- Complex cognitive assessments
|
|
- Subjective content quality
|

cremote-mcp web_hover_focus_test_cremotemcp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2 Tools

## Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1 Tools
|
|
1. **Gradient Contrast:** May struggle with complex gradients (radial, conic)
|
|
2. **Media Validation:** Cannot verify caption accuracy (no speech-to-text)
|
|
3. **Hover/Focus Test:** May miss custom implementations
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2 Tools
|
|
1. **Text-in-Images:** Struggles with stylized fonts, handwriting
|
|
2. **Cross-Page:** Requires 2+ pages, may flag intentional variations
|
|
3. **Sensory Chars:** Context-dependent, may have false positives
|
|

|
3. **Form Validation** - Comprehensive form accessibility testing
|
|
4. **Reading Order** - Visual vs DOM order comparison
|
|
|
|
### Integration Improvements
|
