Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle Visual Builder Runtime 19.1 (Updated)

Product Description:

Oracle Visual Builder is a browser-based low code platform for rapidly creating and hosting business applications through a declarative user interface, without requiring the author to write code. For certain use cases, the author may choose to augment the behavior of applications by writing some code.Visual Builder consists of a number of pages, wizards, and other browser-based tools that are used by the author to create and modify web applications. These components in combination are referred to in this document collectively as the "Designer". This document does not address accessibility of the Designer.Applications created by a Visual Builder user (author) can be made available to other users on the system through the built-in publishing system. Applications created with Visual Builder and hosted on Visual Builder servers are referred to in this document as Visual Builder Runtime applications, or simply "The Product". Visual Builder Runtime applications are designed to be accessible by end users. For certain features, though, the application author must take care to provide information to the application through the Designer interface to achieve specific accessibility features in the resulting application. The Designer assists the author with providing this information as needed.The Visual Builder Designer is built on the Oracle JET framework. Furthermore, applications that are created and hosted on Visual Builder consist of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS resources which rely heavily on Oracle JET for the User interface.

4.1.1 Parsing(Level A)	Supports	The product was tested for: Elements in HTML content have complete start and end tags, are properly nested, do not contain duplicate attributes, and have unique IDs Pages validate to the HTML specification During testing, the following defects were discovered: Bug 29443460 - iframe src element should be non-empty. The iframe on the page is an internal implementation and not intended for display. Bug 29211982 - Default generated pages are missing lang attribute. Authors can easily overcome this by manually adding the lang attribute to the HTML element in index.html of the application. Bug 29211955 - Some pages do not have a title set by default.

Custom controls have appropriate roles specified using the role attribute Custom controls have appropriate state and property information conveyed using the relevant WAI-ARIA or HTML5 attributes Custom controls have a meaningful programmatically exposed name The Product uses standard HTML5 components and Oracle JET components which properly expose name (label) and role. In cases where the author chooses to write a custom UI component, they would need to use the appropriate APIs to expose the name, role, and other relevant attributes.
