Remediation Plan (template to be completed)

Acceptance criteria

• Initial Report has been reviewed by Product, Design and Dev, as necessary.
• Remediation Plan completed
• Identify any existing "accessibility" tickets in the backlog that would address these remediation items
• Dev tickets created, as necessary, to execute on the remediation plan.

Additional context

The 508 team have completed the 508 compliance review of the dotgov Registrar as requested via ticket  ICTR0044555.

Attached is the 508 report outlining the 508 violations identified for dotgov Registrar. Based on the 508 assessment we have determined that remediation is required for this system/site.

NEXT STEPS

Please forward the defects to the development team to develop a plan for remediation. Afterward, please complete the attached CISA 508 Remediation Plan.doc and send it back to me.

Once the issues are addressed by your team, please reply to this email with the updated Remediation Plan (there is no need to enter a new ACMS ticket). I will conduct a re-evaluation of the site to verify the previously identified issues are corrected and ensure no new defects are encountered.

RESOURCES

ANDI Accessibility Testing Tool
To expedite the remediation/retest process, your team’s developers should add ANDI to their browser’s Favorite Bar (no admin rights needed). This will allow them to perform quick 508 unit tests while making changes to fix the identified 508 defects. Unit testing will reduce the back and forth communication between our 508 Testing Team and the development team.
