“…For descriptive analysis of the questionnaire result, they used statistical techniques to observe the relationship between the questionnaire items and the dependent variables. Another study by Hadadi [110] stated that designers are not careful about considering the requirements of disabilities such as color blindness. Thus, they overlooked the accessibility criteria to integrate into the design tools.…”

“…Unfortunately, there are few reference architectures for referring to accessible web design, development, and evaluation processes. For example, a framework for accessibility improvement of people with color vision deficiency [79], an approach for automatically identifying widgets [80], and an accessibility testing and refinement tool for the early design phase [110]. It would be beneficial to develop other reference architecture focusing on other contributing areas to solving three problems: (i) framework for the developer to identify and implement accessibility features to improve the accessibility issues, (ii) easy methods to understand and ensure accessibility requirements concerning every type of disabilities during the development phase, and (iii) updated automatic accessibility testing protocols incorporating the latest WCAG standards rules.…”

“…Assets of evaluation (E) (E 1 .) Assets for accessibility evaluation methods: (1) manual assessment through assistive technology with users and experts in this field [83]; (2) questionnaire-based assessment for people with visual impairment through several data analysis techniques [85]; (3) questionnaire-based evaluation for discovering the navigation strategies of low vision people that cause to experience accessibility barriers [107]; (4) automatic assessment system to identify the most effective validator for accessibility testing [108]; (5) statistical data analysis to validate the reliability of the questionnaire result [55]; (6) quantitative data analysis using statistical analysis methods [102]; (7) manual assessment criteria for accessibility assessment of Australian private and governmental websites against DDA standards [109]; (8) user evaluation of Adobe online design platforms tool with the help of mix panel data analysis [110]; (9) statistical evaluation for quality analysis of the websites [105].…”

Several works of literature contributed to the web evaluation process in recent years to promote digital inclusion by addressing several accessibility guidelines, methods, processes, and techniques. Researchers have investigated how the web evaluation process could be facilitated by including accessibility issues to obtain an inclusive and accessible solution to improve the user experience and increase user satisfaction. Three systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have been conducted in the context of past research, considering such research focuses. This paper presents a new SLR approach concerning accessibility in the web evaluation process, considering the period from 2010 to 2021. The review of 92 primary studies showed the contribution of publications on different phases of the web evaluation process mainly by highlighting the significant studies in the framework design and testing process. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study focused on the web accessibility literature reporting the engineering assets for evaluation of new accessible and inclusive web-based solutions (e.g., websites). Besides, in this study, we aim to provide a new direction to the web designers and developers with an updated view of process, methods, techniques, tools, and other crucial aspects to contribute to the accessible process enrichment, as well as depict the gaps and challenges that may be worthy to be investigated in the future. The findings of this SLR introduce a new dimension in web accessibility research on determining and mitigating the research gap of web accessibility issues for web designers, developers, and other practitioners.

PurposeThis study aims to provide an explorative perspective on how workarounds – defined as practices that deviate from an official pathway to a target – delineate a decisive element for users with visual impairment to enable assistive technologies in the context of office work.Design/methodology/approachAn ethnographic study with in situ observation at participants’ work locations together with interviews was conducted to cater for the explorative nature of this study.FindingsThe study outlines three types of workarounds that can be distinguished into: (1) own investment into invisible work, (2) engaging support from colleagues and (3) the complete circumvention of technology use. It is furthermore discussed that workarounds remain largely unnoticed but yield the potential as an enabling factor for insights into the use of assistive technology (AT).Practical implicationsThe layered model of workarounds that locates them at the individual, social and organisational level can guide the design and analysis of enabling technologies in complex office work contexts. Technology designers can incorporate enquiries on workarounds into participatory or co-creative design processes. Information technology (IT) professionals and leaders of IT support teams can use this model to gain insights from workarounds into improvement opportunities for the effective integration of assistive technologies.Originality/valueThis study connects the concept of workarounds, which is deeply rooted in the tradition of workplace studies and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), with the practices of handling technology employed by knowledge workers with visual impairments to retain workability. This approach offers a novel perspective on the embeddedness of enabling technologies in the context of knowledge work. It highlights the intricate ways in which technology is integrated into daily work practices, thereby providing valuable insights into the intersection of AT and knowledge work.
