Help! I have to test accessibility en
Your company suddenly needs you to accessibility testing, but you don’t know how or where to start? Don’t worry, I’m here to help with that. As the European Accessibility Act (EEA) approaches, companies are increasingly recognizing the significance of digital accessibility. Join me to get started on your accessibility testing journey. Get a better understanding of the topic, discover easy techniques and tools, and find out where to learn more.
This beginner-friendly talk will equip you with the necessary information and tools to get started with accessibility testing. No prior knowledge is required.
Beyond regulations: The human side of accessibility en
Being confronted with the full list of accessibility requirements can be overwhelming. Thinking of all of them during testing can be hard. However, these requirements are not just abstract rules—they represent the needs of real people. So why don’t we think of these people instead of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) success criteria? The idea is not to replace WCAG but rather changing the way we think about them.
Over the years trainings, social media, and real life have given me insight into the diverse challenges people face. Bit by bit requirements turned into user stories for me. Conversations around accessibility issues changed from compliance to user impact. Understanding the personal stories behind accessibility guidelines helped my colleagues and me recall the success criteria. An added positive effect of this human-centered approach is that it encourages thinking beyond ticking WCAG boxes. Note: Bad user experiences are still bad even if they are legal.
Come along and discover how embracing the human side of accessibility testing can lead to more inclusive digital products while making your testing easier at the same time.
How testers get more done – with accessibility tools en
A hardware store offers a variety of tools for every job. Similarly, my talk will showcase a range of tools for accessibility testing ranging from automated checkers to manual testing aids. I've explored a lot of these tools throughout my career, and I am excited to share my favorites with you.
Join me as we stroll through the aisles, exploring various options, their strengths and limitations, including browser extensions, software, and built-in accessibility features. Discover tools (you may already have them but didn't know) and learn how to integrate them into your testing at different stages of the development lifecycle.
Whether you're a seasoned tester or newer to the field, there's always new things to discover. Never stop improving! We'll discuss how to compare and combine tools for the best results. Remember, unicorns are rare, so don't get too hung up on finding the perfect tool for all your test needs. Instead, find the tools that fit your needs and learn how to combine them to leverage the best features of each.
Come to the hardware store with me to have a look at what’s out there and leave with a toolbox full of products and methods for your accessibility testing.
Alles machbar mit Accessibility-Tools – Erweitere deinen Werkzeugkasten de
Für jedes Problem das passende Werkzeug.
Wer sein Accessibility-Testing verbessern will, steht schnell vor einem Baumarkt voller Möglichkeiten. Doch was taugt wirklich, und wie bekommt man bei dieser Vielfalt den Überblick?
Ich stelle eine Auswahl an Tools für Barrierefreiheitstests vor, die sich in der Praxis für mich bewährt haben. Dabei betrachten wir Einsatzszenarien, vergleichen Stärken und Grenzen und wo welches Tool hilft.
Schritt für Schritt entsteht so ein Test-Werkzeugkasten, der sich gezielt einsetzen und erweitern lässt. Denn nicht das eine perfekte Tool entscheidet, sondern das Zusammenspiel der Werkzeuge.
Der Vortrag richtet sich an alle, die ihr Accessibility-Testing weiterentwickeln möchten und gibt Impulse für den eigenen „Werkzeugkasten“.
