Functional Web Accessibility Evaluator

A web accessibility testing tool developed by the University of Illinois that evaluates websites based on coding techniques and best practices rather than simply checking for the presence or absence of specific HTML attributes. Unlike traditional tools that might only verify whether an image has an alt attribute, the FAE assesses whether recommended accessibility coding patterns are implemented correctly, based on five principles: Navigation and Orientation, Text Equivalents, Scripting and Automation, Styling, and Standards Coding. The project also included a companion Mozilla/Firefox Accessibility Extension for live DOM inspection.
