* [ASF project web site checks](https://whimsy.apache.org/site/project/fineract) should pass (all appear green).
* Markup and code should be well-formed, valid, free of errors and warnings.
* Aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance for accessibility.

#### WCAG Testing

Before submitting changes that affect the user interface, test accessibility using these tools:

1. **Lighthouse** (built into Chrome DevTools)
- Open DevTools → Lighthouse tab
- Run audit with "Accessibility" checked
- Address any issues with scores below 90

2. **WAVE** (WebAIM's Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool)
- Install the [WAVE browser extension](https://wave.webaim.org/extension/)
- Check for contrast errors, missing alt text, and structural issues
- Particularly check color contrast ratios meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)

3. **axe DevTools** (browser extension)
- Install [axe DevTools](https://www.deque.com/axe/devtools/)
- Scan pages and fix any "Critical" or "Serious" issues
- Document any remaining issues with justification

4. **Local automated checks** (optional but recommended)
- Consider tools like [Oobee](https://go.gov.sg/oobee) for CI integration
- Add accessibility tests to CI workflows where feasible
