New project Web sites should seek to comply with appropriate standards and best practices. Self assessment using automated testing tools should be carried out, ideally at the project planning stage, during the general workflow and at the end of the project.
This toolkit allows projects to check the entry points of their Web site for a number of important compliance aspects. It is the second component of the QA Toolkit.
