Auto-discovery of web sites CommonLook™ supports the automatic navigation of web sites to build a Site Image. Pages that cannot be auto-discovered (e.g. dynamically returned pages) can be added manually to the Site Image. The tested status of each page shows in the graphical image created by this step. |
Graphically shows your site with the tested, untested or Passed/failed status of each page. |
|
Automatic Verification CommonLook™ supports the automatic (unattended) verification of CLF standards related to the bilingual welcome page / splash page, page alignment, common menu bar and institutional bar, metatags, as well as the W3C priority 1 and priority 2 checkpoints. Colored frames clearly show where elements fall outside specifications. |
Automation of testing for speed and accuracy. |
|
Assisted Verification Some checkpoints call for a decision by the tester. By visually enhancing the testers experience, CommonLook™ will improve the quality and consistency of the results. For instance, simultaneously scrolling the screen with/without color, or a style sheet will graphically aid in the compliance testing process. |
Speed, consistency and help with a tedious task. |
|
Ongoing Maintenance of CLF Compliance CommonLook™ keeps track of the Site Image and the CLF compliance status of each page within the site image. As pages are updated, and as new pages are added to the site, CommonLook detects changes and ensures pages are verified for CLF compliance. |
Ensures enterprise compliance despite constant change. |
|
Enterprise Solution CommonLook™ comes in five editions: Small Site, Workgroup, Enterprise, Project and Auditor. The Enterprise edition supports a centralized repository where compliance data for an entire department can be stored. This makes it possible for senior management to have a real-time, high-level view into the CLF compliance status. It also makes it possible for web developers and testers to centrally manage CLF verification activities related to all the sites in a department. |
Centrally manage CLF verification for an entire department. |
