Date: March, 2019

Notes:

Evaluation Methods Used: Evaluation was primarily performed manually using assistive technology with the help of some automated tools.

The auditor used the VoiceOver screen reader on Mac OS X Mojave 10.14.3 as well as a keyboard to navigate, parse, and operate the Riff application. Testing was performed in Safari version 12.0.3, Chrome version 72.0.3626, and Firefox version 65.0.1. In addition, developer tools including the element inspector and the JavaScript console were used in both Safari and Chrome to inspect DOM content and attributes and to triage potential solutions.

To evaluate color contrast, the auditor used the aXe Chrome extension version 3.7.0, published by Deque, as well as the Contrast Mac app version 1.1, published by Nothing Magical Studio.
