I’m a big fan of using automation in WCAG testing.

The problem is that the marketing machines of some vendors have been more effective than their tools.

No false positives? Cool. What about false negatives?

80% issue coverage? Cool. What do you think “issues” are again?

Turn this off with a ALT + Shift + Print Screen. I pretty much have to do this everytime, hope Freedom Scientific talks to RIM and figures out the problem with the mouse pointer not being visible, until then we've got to get work done!

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a corolation chart in #Excel? I want to be able to agrogate some data that I've calculated in my head and be able to determine the average of different variables which I would use to get a clearer average for how many times an event occurs within a certain period of time. Sorry I have to be so vague,but this data is highly classified... at least to me and the person this data is meant for and I don't want a trace of it getting out.
