Abstract
This presentation will showcase an inclusive approach to using manual testing tools to perform accessibility testing on web content through the visualization of a screenreading experience.
The utilization of functionally testing with screenreaders have played a significant role in the manual testing processes of developers, QA testers, and accessibility specialists for the better part of two decades providing useful feedback to developers that cannot be solely gleaned by automated testing services. This session presents a solution to the challenges faced by sighted developers and quality assurance testers who are tasked with the process of manually testing digital content with a screenreader in a desktop environment.
The presenter will demonstrate effective strategies for quickly identifying defects while creating a system for logging them within spreadsheets by using the JAWS Inspect tool.
Keypoints
- Unveil the reality of inconsistent manual test results amongst testers using AT
- Attain a consistent method of reporting, sharing, and tracking website deficiencies
- Offer 3 visual strategies for testing audio content spoken by a screenreader.
