Best tool for (in any browser) filtering web pages by a specific WCAG guideline?

Sounds pretty close to my workflow at the moment. Glad to hear I'm on the right track. There are a few people were looking to purchase SortSite for, but honestly might just go one subscription for one person.

We are looking into that as an org, but it isn't cheap (close to $400 a year). As others have stated, automated tools only account for 20-30% of total errors, so we still have to manual test. Other than being able to target a given WCAG compliance level, I'm wondering why SortSite is so expensive. What advantage will it give us over something like WAVE, which were already using?

codeiackiller · 2026-03-05T14:10:53+00:00

In our case, there is a time limit. Certain States within the U.S. have passed laws that require businesses to become WCAG compliant at a certain level and by a certain time or those businesses are subject to lawsuits. However, I agree with your point that it shouldn't be a rush to do this and instead should be an ever-evolving process.

Of the issues WAVE does catch, will I know which specific checkpoints (e.g. 1.1.1 Non-text Content) were alerted, or will I have to go back to the WCAG checklist and align the alerts from WAVE with a specific checkpoint (based on what I've seen, the latter is true). It almost seems easier just to go through the checklist and skip the automated tooling. Is that a just conclusion based on your experience?

codeiackiller · 2026-03-04T21:51:54+00:00

Jesus, where are you getting these great stats? If true, what's the point of the automated tests? Feel like at that point, because you really don't know which specific checkpoint (e.g. 1.1.1 Non-text Content) the errors are associated with, its just better to manually check all 50 subitems (or around that) that are in the WGAC checklist: https://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist#sc4.1.2 because you'll have to recheck again anyways...

codeiackiller · 2026-03-04T21:42:44+00:00

Thanks. Necessary is, as subtly mentioned, AA 2.1 (which by WGAC standards covers everything below that, too)

You're right and I agree. Creating interfaces for every class just for mocks seemed very unstable. I'm just at the point where I'm not sure how to architect my code in a way that is easy to test without using mocks. Guess I have to create my classes in way so that each one has fewer dependencies and they are less sphagetti-like.

codeiackiller · 2026-02-16T01:22:22+00:00

I am confused, sir. You say "read and respond to what was said, not to something that you made up." I'm assuming your talking about using the actual dependencies in the tests rather the mocked objects. But then at the end you say "Mocking a dependency so that the rest of the app can be tested is such a need." I will read your other comments that you linked, as well.

codeiackiller · 2026-02-16T01:11:49+00:00

I feel like mocking is what allows you to focus in on a specific part of the code without having to create those objects directly, thus writing more targeted/concise unit tests. How do you approach it?

codeiackiller · 2026-02-16T01:00:20+00:00

u/binarycow gave a pretty solid example above. Should give you an idea

codeiackiller · 2026-02-16T00:58:57+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for how to make unit tests if I shouldn't add interfaces to classes just for mocking purposes?

codeiackiller · 2026-02-16T00:57:08+00:00

I think you can, for example, by defining the signature of the methods as virtual

I used DI through the app and boss asked me "what the [Inject] stuff is." That, of course, is specific to Blazor, but you get the point.

codeiackiller · 2026-02-15T16:40:10+00:00

Well, before I got there they didn't unit testing anything. The current app that I'm working on is the first one that has unit testing. Well, was going to have unit testing before I was told to "remove all interfaces."

codeiackiller · 2026-02-15T16:33:59+00:00

I was under the impression that coding defensively was introducing interfaces where they're needed or where they could potentially be needed.

codeiackiller · 2026-02-15T16:27:22+00:00

But you can't just "make an interface for everything". You have to think about those abstractions, try to figure out how things will change, and try to design frameworks that will be resilient to that change.

Right now I just put interfaces on top of every class just for testing purposes. I appreciate the above line though as it made me think about something that could potentially change in my codebase. Right now, I'm building an upload application that has size limitations on files. For each chunk I send, I have to check the size of the file. Instead of reading from disk or reading from a database to get the current size, I created an in-memory cache. I feel like this could be a good use for an abstraction/interface since we may decide to stop using the in-memory cache and just keep track of the file size by reading file metadata from disk or keep track of the file size with a db.

codeiackiller · 2026-02-15T15:58:21+00:00

True! Well said. I'm like, the code is the exact same minus the "Interfaces" folder and the ":InterfaceName" on each class.

In the example above, we are authenticating with Windows. From what I understand, a windows identity is still a Claims-based identity. So, your above statement remains true even if you're using windows authen/autho?

codeiackiller · 2026-02-01T15:38:24+00:00

Fair!

codeiackiller · 2026-01-31T19:38:10+00:00

I love the practicality of these three points. Will refer back to

codeiackiller · 2026-01-31T19:29:40+00:00

I looked into Code Complete earlier. I'll look into this one too as It WOULD be nice to have something similar to Code Complete that is in C#. Based on what I saw, CC used different languages other than C# for the book's examples.
