Software accessibility, the design of software to be usable by users with disabilities, impacts millions of people around the globe. Although accessibility has traditionally been a marginal afterthought that is often ignored in many software products, it is increasingly becoming a legal requirement that must be satisfied. While some accessibility testing tools exist, most only perform rudimentary syntactical checks that do not assess the more important high-level semantic aspects that users with disabilities rely on. Accordingly, assessing software accessibility has largely remained a laborious manual process requiring human input. In this paper, we combine visual analysis, supervised learning, and natural language processing to propose an approach, called AXERAY, that infers semantic groupings of various regions of a web page and their semantic roles. We evaluate our approach on 30 real-world websites and assess the accuracy of semantic inference as well as its ability to detect accessibility failures. The results show that AXERAY achieves, on average, an F-measure of 87% for inferring semantic groupings, and is able to detect accessibility failures with 85% accuracy.
