Based on your request, it seems you are referring to the ANDI (Accessible Name & Description Inspector) accessibility tool developed by the Social Security Administration.
ANDI uses a modular approach to test specific areas of web accessibility by breaking them down into manageable subtasks. Key ANDI Modules for Focused Testing
When you launch ANDI, you can select different modules from a dropdown menu to scan for specific issues:
Focusable Elements (Default Module): Analyzes interactive elements, tab order, and access keys. It highlights focused elements with a solid pink outline to ensure keyboard navigation is functional.
Graphics/Images (g): Analyzes alternative text for images to ensure they are accessible.
Links/Buttons (l): Compares links and buttons to ensure they have descriptive text.
Tables (t): Analyzes data tables, checking for correct headers and cell associations.
Structures (s): Evaluates headings, semantic HTML, ARIA roles, and page language.
Color Contrast ©: Automatically checks for sufficient color contrast.
Hidden Content (h): Reveals content that is hidden, which is useful for checking aria-hidden elements. iFrames (i): Evaluates iframe content for accessibility. How to Focus on Specific Modules Launch ANDI: Start the tool on your web page.
Use the Dropdown: Select a specific module (e.g., Tables, Links) from the menu.
Scan and Fix: The tool will re-scan the page to present results tailored to that specific module.
