Chrome Headless User agent

The Chrome headless user agent may be used rather than PhantomJS. The following must be installed in order to use Chrome
- Chrome version 69 or newer
- Node version 8 or newer - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Puppeteer core module for node (install from command prompt) "npm install –g puppeteer-core"

If Chrome is not available, the WPSS_Tool will fall back to using PhantomJS and a message will be written to the stdout.txt file.

Deque AXE accessibility ruleset

Some of the Deque AXE accessibility rules may be checked. A new accessibility testcase profile is available to enable this checking. Details of the ruleset is available at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.3.

Pa11y Accessibility Test Tool

The Pa11y accessibility test tool may be run against web pages. The checks cannot be performed on pages behind a login (e.g. applications). A new accessibility testcase profile is available to enable this checking. Details on the Pa11y tool are available at https://github.com/pa11y/pa11y.
This tool requires
- Node version 8 or newer - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Pa11y module for node (install from command prompt) "npm install –g pa11y"

Open Data_Tool

    - Check that minimum and maximum values match in numeric and date columns for language 
      variants of data files - OD_DATA
    - Use first value in column as possible header label if no data dictionary is specified - OD_DATA
    - Check that heading descriptions are not the same as the heading label - TP_PW_OD_DD
    - Check that descriptions are different for each language - TP_PW_OD_DD
    - Don't check value inconsistencies for columns that have data patterns that would
      report errors - TP_PW_OD_CONT
    - Report duplicate data rows or columns under testcase id TP_PW_OD_CONT_DUP so it can be filtered
    - Report inconsistent data values under testcase id TP_PW_OD_CONT_CONSISTENCY so it can be 
       filtered
    - Check for inconsistent capitalization for short (fewer than 100 characters) text 
      cells - TP_PW_OD_CONT_CONSISTENCY

A new Open Data testcase profile “PWGSC OD (core)” is available that eliminates duplicate data and inconsistent data checks from testing. This should be used for datasets that have valid duplicate or inconsistent data cells as this reduces false error messages.
