Abstract
Various accessibility guidelines have been developed to meet the increased demand for accessible software, but due to the numerous elements within these guidelines, applying all elements to target software is burdensome and expensive. Additionally, whether all the elements should be applied depends on the software’s purpose and target end users, who do not often clearly recognize difficulties. Moreover, accessibility requirements elicited in the late software development phase cannot always be applied. To ensure that these requirements are implemented properly, they must be elicited in the early software development phase by considering end users’ conscious and unconscious characteristics. Here a method to elicit accessibility requirements in the early software development phase is proposed. Specifically, end users complete checklists, which are designed to determine disabilities with respect to guidelines. Then guideline elements are prioritized and applied to the target software as specified by the accessibility requirements.
