Accessibility Testing 101
summary
Covers a hands-on workflow: build a standardized toolset (Microsoft Accessibility Insights, WAVE, Siteimprove, Siteimprove-like services), run page-by-page automated scans, then perform keyboard and manual testing with a shared spreadsheet and scripts; includes an audit template and an accessibility statement generator for publishing remediation plans. Gives hard numbers: automated tools catch less than 40% of issues and WebAIM found 98% of 1,000,000 homepages had detectable WAVE failures, plus guidance on prioritizing fixes.
