This report lists all the fields that do not have an associated field label. For incorrect and correct code see FRM_A17i through to A18iii in our Forms Factsheet.

15. The AccessibilityOz Testing Methodology
Run OzART over the entire site (automatic failures will be marked "Defect", items that require human testing will be marked "Inspect")
Conduct a scope analysis

16. The AccessibilityOz Testing Methodology
Assign each category to a tester, who tests each category and adds examples
If marked "Inspect", review each error. Mark it "Okay" if it passes and "Defect" if it fails
If there are Defects choose some examples and add to OzART

17. The AccessibilityOz Testing Methodology
Categories QAed by an Accessibility Specialist
Fetch each category report
Report edited and merged, impact statement written
OzART turned to Defects mode

18. The AccessibilityOz Testing Methodology
Fixing
Developer works through each error, marking each instance as “Fixed” or “Won’t Fix”

19. The AccessibilityOz Testing Methodology
Retesting
OzART is run again. Items change status as per:
Items marked “Fixed” that still exist are automatically changed to “Defect”.
Items marked “Won’t Fix” remain “Won’t Fix”
Items marked “Defect” are automatically changed to “Reported”

20. The AccessibilityOz Testing Breakdown
AccessibilityOz break up the auditing process into three distinct sections:
template section of the site;
