Description
To be accessible with IBM, we follow the accessibility guidelines and scan our web documents using the Dynamic Assessment Plugin (DAP) for FireFox; which is an automated test tool that is required to test accessibility complaisance of all Web content rendered in a standard browser. To be compliant, all violations (V), if any are reported, must be fixed to comply with the Web accessibility checklist. Unfixed violations result in a failure (non-compliance) with the associated checkpoints.
Using the DAP tool, the swagger docs include a few violations (see image below)

- we are using swagger-ui v2.2.10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the rendered Swagger YAML/JSON documentation with swagger-ui v2.2.10 and running the Dynamic Assessment Plugin for Firefox. Use the linked image and reported DAP violations to identify the affected rendered elements; done means the documented accessibility violations are fixed and the scan passes.
