What is Testing Accessibility
The training provides participants with a concise introduction to accessibility and why it is necessary, whilst outlining the responsibilities of the development team in this subject.
The training focuses on using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as a standard for testing accessibility. Participants will learn how to apply WCAG principles and success criteria to evaluate the accessibility of digital content per category:
- Semantics
- Visual
- Responsive Design
- Screen reader fun
- Images
- Audio & Video
- Forms
- Tables
- Widgets
Additionally, the training covers available testing tools and techniques for assessing accessibility. Participants will gain practical knowledge on how to use these tools effectively to identify accessibility issues and ensure compliance with WCAG standards.
Who should attend Testing Accessibility
Accessibility is crucial to prevent user exclusion. Since 2019, government agencies are legally required to adhere to the WCAG 2.1 standard at levels A/AA. For commercial businesses, this law takes effect in June 2025. This means that accessibility applies to every digital product or service.
The ‘Testing Accessibility’ training is designed for both novice and experienced test engineers who want to learn more about accessibility, especially in applications with a user interface.
Prerequisites
A basic understanding of testing is recommended for this training.
Objectives
By the end of the training, participants will have a solid understanding of digital accessibility, the testing of accessibility, and the use of WCAG and testing tools to ensure digital content is accessible to all users.
