Section 508 Conformance Tests

Each of the Test Conditions included in each test section below is a statement that can be evaluated as TRUE or FALSE. The “How to Test” content included under each Test Condition provides instructions on how to evaluate whether content PASSES the condition:

  • If a Test Condition is TRUE for the content in question, then the content PASSES that Test Condition.
  • If a Test Condition is FALSE for the content in question, then the content FAILS that Test Condition.
  • A Test Condition DOES NOT APPLY (DNA) only if content does not exist that meets the conditions described in the “Identify Content” instructions at the beginning of each test section.
  • In very limited instances specifically described in this test process, a Test Condition is NOT TESTED if content exists that meets the Identify Content criteria for a test, but a test cannot be performed due to limitations in available test tools.
