ABSTRACT
This paper describes the execution of three accessibility evaluations on web-based map applications. Assessments based on expert reviews, tools and end users were performed, using the WCAG 2.0 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and analyzing its Level A success criteria. To define and set measurable goals, the GQM Approach (Goal-Question-Metric) was utilized. It was found that none of the evaluated applications reaches this level, since they do not entirely meet the analyzed criteria, according to the evaluations performed.

Accessible Online Indoor Maps for Blind and Visually Impaired Users
ASSETS '16: Proceedings of the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityThis paper proposes alternatives for the development and improvement of maps to aid accessibility. Based on our analysis, we present an accessible online indoor map prototype that complies with WCAG 2.0. For the case study, the prototype displays an ...
Investigating accessibility on web-based maps
This paper presents results of an accessibility evaluation carried out with web-based map applications. Three points of view were considered: experts on accessibility, evaluation tools and final users (partially or totally blind people). The document ...
Reliability Aware Web Accessibility Experience Metric
W4A '18: Proceedings of the 15th International Web for All ConferenceWeb accessibility metrics can measure the accessibility levels of websites. Although many metrics with different motivations have been proposed, current metrics are limited in their applicability when considering user experience. This study proposes ...
