The WPSS Validation Tool provides web developers and quality assurance testers the ability to perform a number of web site and web page validation tasks at one time. The tool crawls a site to find all of the documents then analyses each document with a number of validation tools.
Version 4.0.1 contains the following updates and additions
- Add open data checking tool (open_data_check.pl and desktop shortcut) to check open dataset files (dictionary, data, resources).
- Do case insensitive checks on titles to find matching HTML and PDF versions of a document.
- Allow for binary data in CSV files (e.g. new-line in the cell content).
- Report Interoperability failure for web feeds that do not parse properly - SWI_B.
- Check for table headers that reference undefined headers or headers outside the current table - WCAG_2.0-H43.
- Check for all language markers to determine if a page is archived or not (handles the case where wrong language message is used).
- Encode text that is written to results tabs, this eliminates garbled French characters.
- Report unknown mime-type documents as non-HTML primary format.
- Accept enter key in URL list tab to move to the next input line.
- Check for very long (> 500 characters) title and heading text - WCAG_2.0-H42, WCAG_2.0-H25
- Don't report zoom failure for fix size fonts as current browsers can handle this - WCAG_2.0-G142
- Decode HTML entities before checking the length of titles and headings to eliminate the length of the HTML code from the actual text length.
Reminder: The WPSS Tool DOES NOT validate HTML5 markup.
