# Tester's Role in Accessibility Testing

## 📝 **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. 🧠

## **🧪 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. ✅

## **📋 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. 📝

## **🤝 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. 🤝

## **📈 Track Progress and Regression**

Testers have to continually re-test fixed issues and track overall accessibility progress. This prevents regressions and ensures ongoing improvement. 📈

## **🏆 Advocate for Accessibility**

Testers should advocate for the importance of accessibility across the team. They play a key role in promoting accessibility! 🏆
