Siteimprove is excited to be at the 2019 HighEdWeb Annual Conference. Visit us at our booth in the exhibit hall or join us for an hour of learning at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 14, from Kevin Rydberg, Managing Accessibility Consultant at Siteimprove.
Take a look at what his session will cover below:
Leveraging the power of accessibility testing tools while performing the right evaluation with manual tests can be a bit of a balancing act. We will cover some of the factors and considerations of trying to achieve that balance within a comprehensive accessibility program.
The capabilities and responsibilities of your team members vary, so finding that balance may sometimes feel like a moving target. Automated accessibility testing is not a substitute for manual testing, but an important part of a successful accessibility program. It’s important to find the tools that compliment your team. WCAG criteria are best covered with a combination of testing procedures. Along with an ongoing campus-wide accessibility training program, it’s time to look at the best of both automated and manual tests.
