WebKing Accessibility Testing In a Group

We would like to use WebKing for accessibility testing for our group. We currently use JTest against any new files being checked into source control. We would like to do the same thing with WebKing for all modified JSP files being checked in. With JTest we can define the rules etc. and share them either on a server or a checked in file. I want to do the same thing for WebKing accessibility testing. Saving a project appears to not remember which rules were selected for testing. What is the best practice for having a group of engineers in WebKing use the accessibility feature?

Hi,

Webking has built-in accessibility rule sets that comply with W3C standards such as Section 508/WAI and WCAG. However, to enforce custom standards, you can create rules and coding standards tools with WebKing in very much the same way as with JTest. You would create a set of rules, edit a rule set file, and store the rules and rule set file on a TCM server, so that the entire team can share the rules.

For more information on the following tasks, please refer to the corresponding help topics:
- Configure and use TCM to manage and automate the sharing of team-standard test settings, custom coding standard rules, tests, and general preferences: see "Team Configuration Manager (TCM)"
- Built-in accessibility rule sets: see "Section 508/WAI Coding Standards for Web Accessibility: Overview" and "WCAG 2.0 HTML Guidelines: Overview"
- Create a rule: choose "Help> RuleWizard Documentation"
- Create a configure a Coding Standards tool: see "Coding Standards (Custom Requirements/Standards)"
- Examples of rule set files: see the existing rule set files in /rules/

A note on JSP, though, is that webking does not test JSP codes directly. Instead, you would validate the correctness by examining the resulting html codes.
