“Accessibility testing live: simple tests everyone should know”
In this session, you will learn that, although accessibility is a testing speciality, that doesn’t mean that you need to become an expert to do some accessibility testing. Just as anyone can check for SQL injection or URL manipulation to improve security, this session will show you accessibility tests that anyone can do and add to their toolbox. Some can even be combined with other forms of testing simply by doing them slightly differently in order to embed as part of the development process.
In this live accessibility testing demo, Ady Stokes will walk through simple accessibility tests, explaining what he’s doing, how, and why it is important. Once you have seen these tests live, you can have a go yourself and look to see how you can incorporate them going forward.
Takeaways
- list some of the basics of digital accessibility
- execute simple accessibility tests
