QUAIL 2 is coming

We've reengineered QUAIL to be both a PHP and jQuery library, refactored out 70% of the source code, and added 100 new tests in our new home at GitHub.

QUAIL is a PHP library that lets you easily check HTML for adherence to accessibility standards. It comes with over 200 tests which implement Open Accessibility Tests and comes with WCAG 1.0, WCAG 2.0, and Section 508 guidelines.

Developers can build their own guidelines, or easily build a custom guideline that integrates with a database back-end or CMS. While the project supports checking entire HTML pages, integration with a CMS to check partial HTML content is probably the most popular use case.

Status

Currently, the only work left for a 1.0 release is the CSS rendering engine that we're building for presentation and color contrast tests. all work is focused on these efforts and meeting W3C tests for rendering and selector.

Support

If you want to file an issue, please also mention either the test class name or the test english title for reference. It makes it easier to look up!

Requirements

Quail requires cURL and DOMdocument. Because of DOMDocument, QUAIL requires PHP version 5 or higher.

Projects that use QUAIL

Check out the Accessible Content Drupal module, which is maintained by the author of QUAIL and is considered a test implementation of the project.
