How To Get Development on Board With Accessibility Testing
Summary
Dev teams would get long lists of accessibility issues that could require a fundamental reworking of components, causing expensive and frustrating slow-downs in the development cycle. Your application will still need to undergo manual testing with assistive technology tools, especially if your organization has any concerns about compliance with accessibility regulations or legal risk. They not only empower your developers, designers, and testers to understand how people with disabilities experience technology, but they also show how their specific role fits into the overall accessibility of their site or application. It’s also an extremely effective way to illustrate the importance of actually testing your application with assistive technology instead of simply assuming that your accessibility code fix will work. From banking to grocery shopping to collaborating online, accessible software can mean anything from a minor convenience to a total game-changer, enabling someone to excel personally and professionally.
