Como você pode melhorar a acessibilidade da Web em seus testes de controle de qualidade?

Plan User-Centric Testing Scenarios Involve Users with Disabilities Use Assistive Technologies and Tools Consider Multiple Browsers and Devices Evaluate Keyboard Navigation and Focus Management Test Color Contrast and Visual Design Validate Forms and Input Fields Document and Prioritize Accessibility Issues Seek User Feedback and Iteratively Improve Engage in Usability Testing Conclusion

Before understanding standards lets understand what Digital Accessibility is - Digital accessibility is the degree to which a product - website, mobile application or electronic document is perceivable, operable and understandable to as many people as possible irrespective of whether they have an impairment or use Assistive Technology (AT) such as a screen reader. Then we have to understand the 3 common standards and guidelines - the ADA - Americans with Disabilities act, Section 508, an amendment to the United States Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and WCAG - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines . WCAG compliance ensures that your website is accessible by everyone, irrespective of disabilities and age

Then we need to understand the guidelines A, AA, and AAA. AA is the ideal. WCAG 2.1 guidelines are organized into three levels (A, AA, AAA) with similar types of accessibility features addressed in each, but AA having more, and AAA having most criteria to meet that level of accessibility standard. The common tools are JAWS, NVDA as screen readers CCA - color contrast Analysers AXE and WAVE ANDI

I have see many companies deploying disabled people as team members helping in the accessibility testing to meet compliance. One could explore that

Improving web accessibility in QA testing is vital for an inclusive online experience. Understanding standards like WCAG and using tools such as Axe or Wave helps identify potential issues automatically. Manual testing, especially with assistive technologies, is crucial. Including individuals with disabilities in user testing provides valuable feedback. Testing keyboard navigation, color contrast, and providing descriptive alternative text for images contribute to accessibility. Semantic HTML, focus management, and form accessibility are key. Ensuring responsive design and conducting regular audits maintain accessibility. Ongoing education and a commitment to inclusivity contribute to an accessible and user-friendly web environment.

There are tools which can help us automate the accessibility testing process and we must explore that. Tools like AXE come in as browser plugins
