Why automated accessibility testing?Este sistema es similar a gulp-accessibility.
Automated testing can free up 30% of your manual testing effort, making it a valuable tool for software development. By scripting a browser to programmatically open web pages and perform user tasks, you can validate features without having to open each page yourself. By integrating axe-core into your tests, you can add coverage for accessibility without having to become an expert. In addition, you can benchmark accessibility support and catch regressions in your builds, preventing broken code from going to production.
Siteimprove continues to establish itself as a leader in digital accessibility with the release of its free Accessibility Checker for Google Chrome. The browser extension enables anyone to perform on-the-go compliance checks, with or without a Siteimprove subscription.
Using Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), the new Accessibility Checker highlights errors on a single web page, providing clear explanations of how they affect website visitors and recommendations on how to fix them. WCAG 2.0 has been adopted as the internet standard by countries around the world, including European Union Member States, the United States, Australia, and more.
A mockup or wireframe review is an opportunity to identify interaction design elements which are not fully accessible and will require changes. It's also the best time to identify any items that will need additional requirements to avoid becoming accessibility defects later on. After demonstrating the technique we will practice on a sample mockup. You'll leave this session with skills to apply on your next sprint.
