| <P>The Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF) is a subproject of the Eclipse Technology Project.</P> |
| <P>The ACTF is a software framework which serves as an extensible infrastructure |
| upon which developers can build a variety of utilities that help to evaluate and |
| enhance the accessibility of applications and content for people with disabilities. |
| A collection of example utilities will also be provided which were created on |
| top of the framework such as compliance validation tools, assistive technology |
| simulation applications, usability visualization tools, unit-testing utilities, |
| and alternative accessible interfaces for applications. The ACTF infrastructure |
| and the utilities will be integrated into a single tooling environment on top of |
| the Eclipse framework. The framework components will function cooperatively |
| with each other and with other Eclipse projects to provide a comprehensive |
| development environment for creating accessible applications and content. |
