Results for Gliffy
Description
Visio-style diagramming tool with a variety of applications (UML, floorplans, etc). Users of Gliffy can share their diagrams with other people by entering email addresses. Two users can edit and share the same diagram. However, this invokes a stealth registration of the other person.
Accessibility Testing Results
This product is not suitable for screen reader users or those depending on keyboard access. It is possible to enlarge the diagrams but there is no general zoom. Tabbing is generally not possible and diagrams do not have text labels. Colour contrast levels within the diagram can be set by the user as can text size and font but critically not in the interface.
| # | Test | Score | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible |  |
Sign-in has changed and is now keyboard accessible and works well in Webbie but as the actual forms are not labelled the screen reader use is still unable to access them using NVDA |
| 2 | Image ALT Attributes |  |
Entire system is in Flash and therefore does not support tagging images. |
| 3 | Link Target Definitions |  |
Every button in the system is within a Flash element. |
| 4 | Frame Titles and Layout | |
There is an iframe around the entire application and a screen cannot access the mindmap features. However, access for a mouse user is good. |
| 5 | Removal of Stylesheet | |
As the site is built entirely in Flash, the stylesheet has no effect on it. |
| 6 | Audio/Video Features | |
Cannot set a text description for diagrams. |

There is no option to add audio descriptions in the basic version |
| 8 | Appropriate use of Tables | |

The product is very slow to respond to mouse clicks or keyboard presses. |
