Types of testing

Automated Testing

Automated testing includes testing using a software against the web accessibility checkpoints defined in the quidelines.

Caveat: An automated test will pass if a picture has an description as "picture 1" but fail the user as it is not telling the user about the picture.

Validation testing

Validation testing is done to ascertain if the website structure and content is coded in the right way or not and upholds the guidelines.

Caveat: A validation testing will pass a website based totally on tables and old technology but will hinder the overall user experience.

Assistive Technology Testing

Assitive technology testing reveals how the website will work when an assistive technology such as screen reader is used.

Caveat: Don't ask a normal user to test the website with a screen reader as it is totally different from how a visually impaired uses a screen reader.

Web Acessibility Testing

According to ERC and PAS78, Website commissioners should conduct user testing with disabled participants to ensure that their websites are accessible and usable by disabled people.

You need to make sure that you have access to a sample audience according to your needs who can test the website for accessibility and usability requirements.

We can help you to create a test plan as prescribed in PAS78 by the ERC and can give you an extensive report in the end of the testing which can be used by you to create accessible website.

Help you creating a test plan

We can help you to develop an accessibility test plan that enables the accessibility targets to be achieved and performance measured, eg to achieve the usability success criteria, early user evaluations may be needed to identify any design issues.

According to PAS78, the accessibility test plan should clearly state:

  • Which accessibility testing methods will be used
  • How the method supports the accessibility targets
  • When during the project lifecycle the tests will take place
  • How the test results will be documented
  • How the test results should be interpreted

We will do automated testing, validation testing and assistive technology suggest you ways to improve the website accessibility.
