The Ultimate Practical Guide to Accessibility Testing
summary
Claims concrete fixes and tools: automated audits catch about 40–50% of issues, a CI pipeline rollout took nine months at an insurance client, and an open repository for WebdriverIO hooks into builds. Tests focus on keyboard-only navigation, focus order, ARIA attributes, color contrast, touch target sizes, and screen readers (JAWS NVDA VoiceOver). WCAG A/AA/AAA levels guide acceptance criteria, formative checks sit in unit and UI tests, summative audits produce VPAT-style certification, and real users with impairments remain the final arbiter.
