๐คTester's Role in Accessibility Testing
๐ Understand Accessibility Standards and Guidelines
Testers need to have a solid understanding of accessibility standards and guidelines like WCAG 2.0/2.1, Section 508, etc. This provides the foundation for knowing what to test for. ๐ง
๐งช Conduct Automated and Manual Testing
Testers should use automation tools and also manually test to catch accessibility issues. Automation finds many issues, but manual testing is still needed to find subtle issues. โ
๐ Document Issues and Write Bug Reports
When testers find accessibility issues, they need to document them clearly and write detailed bug reports. This helps developers understand and fix the issues. ๐
๐ค Collaborate with Developers and Designers
Testers should collaborate closely with developers and designers to fix accessibility bugs efficiently. Smooth collaboration improves the product's accessibility. ๐ค
๐ Track Progress and Regression
Testers have to continually re-test fixed issues and track overall accessibility progress. This prevents regressions and ensures ongoing improvement. ๐
๐ Advocate for Accessibility
Testers should advocate for the importance of accessibility across the team. They play a key role in promoting accessibility! ๐
