Could also be WCAG 2.1 criteria once it is released. It doesn't matter much.

Minor: Made some editorial suggestions in PR #102.
Major: Should we change "Accessibility Requirements" to "Testing Requirements"? Actually ACT Rules test anything that is defined as a "requirement", whether it is accessibility, usability, general QA, or whatever.

This section explains the accessibility requirements to which the rule maps, (for example, WCAG 2.0 success criterion 1.1.1). An ACT Rule DOES NOT have to test the entire accessibility requirement. The Rule COULD be used to test multiple accessibility requirements. Outcomes from an ACT Rule MUST be consistent within a rule, e.g. if the rule results in a failure, the failure MUST be for the defined accessibility requirement. This means that the rule maps to the accessibility requirement, as opposed to it merely being related to the requirement, thematically or otherwise. Note: For WCAG 2.0, the Success Criteria are the accessibility requirements. Often organizations have accessibility requirements in addition to the WCAG success criteria. These too can be tested using ACT Rules. |
