The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has published WCAG Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) 2.0 as a Group Note. This document describes a methodology with a step-by-step process to evaluate how well digital products conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.
It provides technology-agnostic guidance to define the evaluation scope, explore the target product, select a representative sample set from products, evaluate the selected sample set, and report the evaluation findings. This procedure is suitable for use in different evaluation contexts, including self-assessment and third-party evaluation.
This document does not define feature-specific instructions, as the WCAG success criteria and supporting documents cover those. It also does not define additional WCAG 2 requirements, nor does it replace or supersede them in any way.
