Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for evaluating compliance of a user interface design are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A hierarchy of elements of a user interface is received from a first application executing in a client data processing system. A second application presents the user interface including a set of user interface elements at the client data processing system. A compliance rule is selected from a set of compliance rules. An evaluation is made whether an attribute associated with a user interface element meets a condition specified in the compliance rule. Responsive to the evaluating being negative, the user interface element is reported as being non-compliant with the compliance rule.
