The present invention provides a method and apparatus for automatic accessibility assessment. One embodiment of the present invention automatically executes and tests the accessibility of a computer program. This embodiment analyzes the executing computer program to determine whether enough information is presented for assistive technologies to work properly with the computer program. Another embodiment manipulates the user interface by simulating interactions with assistive technologies. Thus, it is determined which portion of the computer program's functionality is reachable through interaction with the simulated assistive devices. One embodiment allows a user to select states for testing which are otherwise unreachable by the simulated assistive devices. The computer program's interactions with the simulated assistive devices are used to determine whether any accessibility failures exist in the computer program. One embodiment is designed to test computer programs written in a platform-independent programming language. One embodiment is designed to test computer programs written in the Java programming language. Other embodiments are designed to test computer programs written in other programming languages.
