Guerilla Accessibility Testing Techniques
summary
Advocates covert, timeboxed reviews of high-impact features (login, forms, checkout) using simple checks: keyboard navigation and traps, alt text, 200% text resize, contrast, captions. Uses low-risk tools: keyboard navigation, NVDA/VoiceOver/TalkBack, axe/Wave/Lighthouse, Accessibility Scanner and contrast analyzers. Builds a brief evidence pack and a 10/20/30 pitch deck for stakeholders, cites legal risk and comparable court cases, recruits allies (PM, developer, UX), and limits reconnaissance to about a sprint (weeks, not months).
