The Rule Groups Grid has five columns:
  1. Rule group title
  2. Number of rules with violations
  3. Number of rules with warnings
  4. Number of rules with manual checks
  5. Number of rules with pass.

The rule groups grid helps identify which features are meeting accessibility requirements and what areas will require human inspection. Each rule is associated with both a Rule Category and WCAG Guideline. The rule categories use labels familiar to designers and developers that have an understanding of html coding. The WCAG Guidelines are part of the standards used to define accessibility and are familiar to accessibility specialists.
