Digital accessibility works when we ensure that as many people can use and interact with the web using whichever method they choose. Since disability can manifest in many areas of life, so too do accessibility needs. At a minimum, we look to ensure that our site works for those who cannot see or hear, those who cannot use a mouse, or those who need specialised assistive technology such as a braille keyboard to interact with the web.
In this session, you will learn that, although accessibility is a testing speciality, that doesn’t mean that all testers need to become experts to do some accessibility testing. Just as anyone can check for SQL injection or URL manipulation for security, this session will show you accessibility tests that all testers can execute and add to their toolbox. Some can even be combined with other forms of testing simply by doing them slightly differently.
In this live demo of accessibility testing, Ady Stokes will walk through simple tests for accessibility while you follow along and give your feedback on the chat. Once you have seen these tests live and had a go yourself you can look to see how you can incorporate them into your testing going forward.
What's Being Covered
After this event you should be able to do the following:
- List some of the basics of digital accessibility
- Execute simple accessibility tests
- Recognise the importance of adding some specialist testing to your toolkit
- Plan how to add these tests to your daily work
This session will show you accessibility tests that all testers can execute and add to their toolbox.
