Usage

Phase

: Initial Audit

A software developer, quality assurance professional, or Section 508 auditor can quickly and easily perform an audit of all of the software within an organization.

		Launch the 508 Wizard™, and point it at your source code.
		Press a button to have the 508 Wizard™ scan the code.
		Press a button to view the Management Report

If desired, you can also export the Management Report in HTML format and send it to the appropriate management staff within your organization. Once management sees the extent of the Section 508 accessibility problems in your programs, Phase 2 is soon to follow.

Phase

: Remediation

Software development staff is instructed to use the 508 Wizard™ to assist them in correcting the Section 508 accessibility problems in your organizations source code. Since 508 Wizard™ comes with built-in instructions for remediation, little if any additional training is required in most cases

		Launch the 508 Wizard™, and point it at your source code.
		Press a button to have the 508 Wizard™ scan the code.
		Press a button to view the Developer Report

Then, the developer can view the offending lines of source code for each accessibility error, and use context-sensitive help to quickly learn how to correct the problems. After making the necessary source code changes, the 508 Wizard™ can re-scan the code to ensure that it has been properly corrected.

Phase

: Validation

Quality assurance or audit staff can easily use the 508 Wizard™ to assist them in validating the accessibility of your computer programs.

		Launch the 508 Wizard™, and point it at your source code.
		Press a button to have the 508 Wizard™ scan the code.
		Press a button to view the QA Report

Quality Assurance staff or Section 508 Auditors can easily re-run the 508 Wizard™ periodically to ensure that your computer programs remain accessible, as continued accessibility is another Section 508 regulation.
