The surveys made use of freely-available Web-based tools:

• Methodology is open
• No software needs to be installed locally (apart from Web browser)
• Findings can be reproduced
• Latest results can be obtained by clicking on link to testing service

The surveys typically examined project entry points and not entire Web site as:

• This page has the highest profile
• The aim is to validate a methodology which can be deployed by projects themselves, not to test every page on behalf of the projects
