Abstract

This work highlights the need to evaluate the website of the Fundamental Education Assessment System (SAEF) in relation to its accessibility, aiming to improve access to the site, so that use can be carried out without restrictions, by all users of the system. It shows the importance of accessibility for disabled people and its importance for non-disabled people, or people with difficulties accessing the internet in general. Also highlighting a Brazilian education website, which deals with the results of a large-scale evaluation carried out in the municipality of Fortaleza, in Ceará. In order to reduce accessibility problems, it is necessary to adopt measures in the development and maintenance of websites, that is, to comply with current web accessibility recommendations and guidelines. For accessibility assessment, the use of automatic tools is significantly useful, as they allow greater speed in carrying out the assessment in addition to enabling increased verification assertiveness. Based on the analysis of the evaluation results, improvements are suggested that match the functionality of the website, identifying the main problems, according to the results of the accessibility analysis of the ASES tool in the website's source code. One of the main positive points of using ASES in accessibility assessment is the speed of results and reports issued by the tool, while a negative point is the limitation to just the source code of the chosen page.
