Abstract
A method for generating a compliance rating for federally mandated accessibility standards for a consumer oriented product is disclosed wherein relevance criteria for at least one provision of said standards has already been defined. The method involves the steps of identifying at least one configuration for the product to rate, determining which rules of the standard are relevant to the identified configuration and generating a list of user functions for the configuration, dividing each of the user task functions intended to be performed into a plurality of sub-tasks, filtering the generated list of tasks as to appropriateness and applicability, and performing each sub-task and rating the performance against the identified relevant standards as defined therein. Lastly, the method involves repeating these steps until all configurations of the product under review have been rated.
