Description

Web application for brainstorming with hierarchical diagrams. Users can share diagrams with other users registered on the system.

Accessibility Testing Results

This product is not suitable for screen reader users or those depending on keyboard access although it is possible to use the tab to add extra symbols to the diagram for speedy generation of ideas. The text sizes are very small and zoom does not work. Symbols colours can be changed but text did not appear to change although HTML tags can be used.

# Test Score Summary
1Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible Poor Signin and Signup buttons are images, and do not have alternate text or titles.
2Image ALT Attributes Poor The entire site is Flash, and images therefore cannot have alternative text.
3Link Target Definitions Poor The entire site is Flash, and links therefore cannot have titles.
4Frame Titles and Layout Excellent No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5Removal of Stylesheet Poor The entire site is Flash, and is sized with the stylesheet. Removing the stylesheet makes the product unusable.
