The BITV-Test is a reliable and comprehensive accessibility evaluation instrument. 60 detailed test steps help assessing whether information-oriented web sites are accessible for users with disabilities.
The domain bitvtest.eu provides an overview of the BIK projects and the BITV-Test, as well as selected English articles.
The BIK series of project was funded by the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, BMAS. The last BIK project was BIK für Alle (BIK for all). The BITV-Test as well as our articles and tests have all been written in German.
The English site bitvtest.eu does not provide a full translation of all this content. Instead, it offers a general overview of the BITV-Test as a tool for evaluating the accessibility of web sites.
In December 2017, a version of the BITV-Test has been released as WCAG-Test. Now, both BITV-Test and WCAG-Test are essentially following the same test procedure: BITV no longer uses its own annex of requirements, but points directly to the latest EU regulation, which is EN 301 549—and this in turn references WCAG 2.1 in chapter 9, Web.
This site also hosts occasional English articles and publications, and tracks BIK's involvement with other initiatives in the European context.
