Testing for Accessibility: Tools and Techniques

18/06/2024

Testing is an integral part of ensuring web accessibility. Use a combination of automated tools and manual testing techniques.

Automated tools, such as WAVE and axe, can identify many common accessibility issues. However, they can't catch everything. Manual testing, using a keyboard and screen reader, is essential for identifying issues that automated tools might miss. Involve people with disabilities in your testing process to get valuable feedback.
