Accessibility

Accessibility is the responsibility of the I-Team, beginning with UX, DEV and QA, to ensure that the following requirements are fulfilled:

1. Is the feature fully keyboard accessible?
   (Ex: "I can go everywhere and use every function using the keyboard only"
   <START TYPING HERE>
2. Have I specified visual alternatives for the case that the specified feature includes audio as output?
   <START TYPING HERE>
3. Are text alternatives for all icons and graphics available?
   <Start typing here>
4. Don't provide important information in colors alone
   (Ex: marking important information hard coded in red)
   <START TYPING HERE>
5. Does the specified feature respect system settings for font, size, and color for all windows and user interface elements?
   <START TYPING HERE>
6. Have I ensured that flash rates do not exceed 2 hertz for blinking text, objects, or other elements? In any case, try to avoid flashing UI elements
   <START TYPING HERE>
7. Ensure that assistive technology (AT) (like ZoomText or Orca) is able to read everything.
