TAW is the acronym for Test de Accesibilidad Web (Web Accessibility Test). TAW analyses Web site accessibility, including all elements and pages included in the site.
Its goal is to analyse the level of accessibility in the design and development of Web pages to allow access for all, regardless of their specific characteristics.
Public in general and professionals of this area such as webmasters, developers, Web page designers, etc.

Web accessibility improves web access in general. Web accessibility can also benefit people without disabilities.
To perform accessibility analysis, TAW is based on rules developed by the W3C WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative). These rules, known as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, include fourteen guidelines that describe the principles of accessible design. Each of these guidelines is divided into one or more checkpoints.
The checkpoints explain how to apply the guideline for Web content development. The intention of each checkpoint is to provide specific information to verify that the checkpoint has been satisfied.
