WCAG-EM

A structured methodology published by the W3C for evaluating how well a website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). WCAG-EM defines a five-step process: defining the evaluation scope, exploring the website, selecting a representative sample of pages, evaluating the sample against WCAG success criteria, and reporting the findings. It is used for both self-assessment and third-party evaluation and is independent of any particular testing tool or assistive technology. WCAG-EM 2.0, currently in draft, extends the methodology to cover apps and other digital products.
