Overview
The deathly hallows of accessibility testing, like the legendary objects from the world of Harry Potter, represent three essential elements for validating the accessibility of your digital product or service.
They consist of Automated Testing for efficiency and speed in uncovering common accessibility issues, Manual Testing for identifying more nuanced accessibility issues that require human involvement, and Usability Testing for understand people’s real-world experience.
According to legend, those who use the three techniques become Masters of Accessibility. Automated and Manual Testing will help you conform with accessibility standards. The more elusive Usability Test completes the circle, ensuring that the experience goes beyond conformance to confirmation from people who will use your product or service.
Learn more about the deathly hallows of accessibility and when to use them in this presentation.
