Simple Tests for Accessibility

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 do accessibility needs. At a minimum, we should 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 Masterclass, you will learn that although accessibility is a testing speciality, that doesn’t mean 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 recording will show you accessibility tests that all testers can execute and add to their toolkit. Some can even be combined with other forms of testing simply by doing them slightly differently.

Ady will demonstrate and walk through simple tests for accessibility for you to follow along with. Once you have seen these tests, you can look to see how you can incorporate them into your testing going forward.
