<p>Develop a framework and repository of test rules, to promote a unified interpretation of WCAG 2.0 among different web accessibility test tools. The framework will also allow the development of custom test rules to meet company requirements and best practices. While this framework will add a layer of implemention for tool developers, it provides more consistency and comparability of the resulting test rules.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a href="/WAI/about/groups/task-forces/coga/">Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force</a></strong> (Cognitive A11Y TF) under the <a href="/WAI/about/groups/apawg/">APA Working Group</a> and the <a href="/WAI/about/groups/agwg/">AG Working Group</a></dt> <dd> <p>Assisting Working Groups to produce techniques, understanding, and guidance documents, as well as updates to existing related W3C material that addresses the cognitive space.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a href="/WAI/about/groups/task-forces/low-vision-a11y-tf/">Low Vision Accessibility Task Force</a></strong> (LVTF) under the <a href="/WAI/about/groups/agwg/">AG Working Group</a></dt> <dd> <p>Assisting Working Groups to address web accessibility issues specific to people with low vision.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a href="/WAI/about/groups/task-forces/matf/">Mobile Accessibility Task Force</a></strong> under the <a href="/WAI/about/groups/agwg/">AG Working Group</a></dt> <dd> <p>Assisting Working Groups to produce techniques, understanding, and guidance documents, as well as updates to existing related W3C material that addresses the mobile space.</p> </dd> <dt><strong><a href="/WAI/about/groups/task-forces/silver/">Silver Task Force</a></strong> under the <a href="/WAI/about/groups/agwg/">AG Working Group</a></dt> <dd> <p>Perform preliminary development of a new version of Accessibility Guidelines following a research-focused, user-centered design methodology to produce the most effective and flexible outcome.
