Streamline testing for accessibility, "mobile friendliness", etc

[ncoghlan]

If developers are able to easily deploy a demonstration version of their application/site to a public container based hosting service (e.g. Google Container Engine, the next generation of OpenShift Online), then there are a wide range of public quality assessment services they can take advantage of.

For accessibility testing, the W3C provide some suggested services at http://www.w3.org/wiki/Accessibility_testing#Semi-automated_accessibility_checkers, in particular http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php for WCAG 2.0 compliance checking, and http://juicystudio.com/services/csstest.php for checking perceptibility and scalability of CSS colour choices and font sizes.

Google provides a "mobile friendliness" assessment as part of their webmaster services: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ (along with associated documentation: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/get-started/)

TAW (http://www.tawdis.net/ingles.html?lang=en) offers checkers for WCAG 1.0, WCAG 2.0 and mobile friendliness

(As with #8, the starting point for this would likely just be through documentation, with automated assistance following at a later date)
