This PR addresses issue #443 which contained only unfilled bug template content by transforming the repository into a comprehensive accessibility auditing workspace with practical tools and documentation.

Changes Made

Enhanced Issue Template

  • Replaced generic bug template with accessibility-focused issue template
  • Added WCAG guideline selection, severity levels, and assistive technology testing fields
  • Included user impact assessment and browser/platform information sections

Accessibility Testing Framework

Created a complete toolkit for accessibility auditing:

Accessibility Checker Tool (accessibility_checker.py):

  • Automated detection of common WCAG violations (missing alt text, heading structure, form labels, empty links)
  • Command-line tool with detailed reporting by severity level
  • Executable script with proper error handling

Comprehensive Documentation:

  • ACCESSIBILITY_TESTING.md: Complete testing methodology and guidelines
  • sample_audit_report.md: Professional audit report template demonstrating proper documentation
  • Updated README.md with clear repository purpose and accessibility focus
  • Enhanced Mobile file with mobile-specific accessibility checklist

Testing and Quality Assurance

  • Test.py: Complete test suite with 10 unit tests covering all checker functionality
  • All tests passing with 100% success rate
  • Proper .gitignore file for Python development

Example Usage

# Run accessibility check on HTML file
./accessibility_checker.py index.html

# Run test suite
python3 Test.py

The accessibility checker detects issues like:

  • Images without alt text (WCAG 1.1.1)
  • Improper heading hierarchy (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • Form inputs without labels (WCAG 1.3.1)
  • Empty links (WCAG 2.4.4)

Impact

This transforms the repository from having placeholder template content to providing concrete value for accessibility auditing workflows. Teams can now use the repository for structured accessibility testing with proper documentation, automated checking, and professional reporting templates.

Fixes #443.
