1. The document describes a framework called A211y that was developed to help integrate accessibility (A11y) into an agile development process.
2. A211y assigns each success criterion of the WCAG 2.0 guidelines to specific agile team roles based on who is primarily responsible or impacted.
3. It provides a "squeegee" - translating each criterion into a simple format of "whose, what, and where" to make the criteria easier for each role to understand and implement.
The Internet of Things is everywhere. But, contrary to popular belief, it's not as easy as "just put a chip in it." This presentation discusses the subtle nuances on how to design consumer IoT products with the end-user in mind.

Don't Panic! How to perform an accessibility evaluation with limited resourcesMichael Ryan
Being tasked with an accessibility evaluation is can be daunting. How can you measure accessibility? What disabilities are the most important? What tools do you need? How long will it take? Where do I start? What does "accessible" even mean?
These are all questions I asked myself last year when I performed my first accessibility eval. This session will share everything I learned since then in performing three accessibility evaluations.
Presented May 7, 2015 at the J Boye Conference in Philadelphia, PA. Reference slides from a presentation showing a screen reader user's experience navigating a website both before and after accessible coding practices.
Unfortunately web content accessibility is being increasingly viewed solely from the perspective of how well a site complies with WCAG 2 rather than how well people with disabilities can access the content.
During this session, I outline a new Accessibility Priority Tool (APT) that was developed in early 2013. This tool will help organizations and developers identify likely access barriers to web content, and prioritise their efforts to correct them.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

12. ACCESSIBILITY IS…
the degree to which a product, device, service, or environment is available to as many people as possible. Accessibility can be viewed as the "ability to access" and benefit from some system or entity. The concept often focuses on people with disabilities or special needs (such as the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) and their right of access, enabling the use of assistive technology.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility
13. ACCESSIBILITY AFFECTS A PERSON NEAR YOU
About 1 in 5 Americans have one or more diagnosed psychological or physical disabilities
16. A11Y: USUAL PROCESS
NO ONE THINKS ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY …except the accessibility expert
OFTEN A FINAL REVIEW BY AN A11Y EXPERT …or QA test pass

A FEATURE
•
A “MYSTERIOUS” PROCESS
•
“SPECIAL CODE”
•
“MAGIC PIXIE DUST”
•
LIMITED TO JUST ONE ROLE

75. A211Y: WHOSE IS IT? SQUEEGEE: OWNERSHIP DEFINED
PRIMARY OWNERSHIP
The Role with most concern/expertise on subject
- One and only one
SECONDARY OWNERSHIP
Role(s) with major influence on criterion
CONTRIBUTOR (IMPACT)
Roles that affect indirectly or are not deeply involved
76. A211Y: WHOSE IS IT? EXAMPLE: COLOR
PRIMARY OWNERSHIP
Vx Designer has final say on color selection

79. A211Y: WHAT IS IT REALLY? SQUEEGEE: TYPES DEFINED
USER STORIES / STANDARD REQUIREMENTS
•
Team members already DO these
•
Nothing changes (at all)
•
Except, maybe, some details
BEST PRACTICES
•
Team members probably already know and do them
•
May just need to revise or apply more of them
PRIMARILY A11Y
•
Team members may not know these
•
A11y Experts train them to help fill in the gaps

84. A11Y: CURRENT PROCESS
Issues wait until the end (QA or A11y Testing)
Issues assigned to Developer to resolve
Owners often unaware of issues or resolution
Often owners repeat decision (so it happens again)
Note: For simplicity, flow diagrams appear to show a “waterfall” approach. In Agile this would have more parallel and concurrent paths
QA / A11y Testing
Developers
Content Author
Visual (Vx) Designer
Interaction (IX) Designer
Business Owner
85. A211Y: BASIC PROCESS
Issues wait until the end (QA or A11y Testing)
Issues assigned to primary owner
•
Where they belong
•
To those who created the issue
•
To those who know & care more about the decision
QA / A11y Testing
Developers
Content Author
Visual (Vx) Designer
Interaction (IX) Designer
Business Owner
86. A211Y: IDEAL PROCESS
In the ideal process issues resolved earlier by owners during design
Owners more aware of issues & standards
More “pairs of eyes” aware of potential issues kicking deliverable back to owners
Fewer issues make it to testing
QA / A11y Testing
Developers
Content Author
Visual (Vx) Designer
Interaction (IX) Designer
Business Owner
87. A211Y: SPRINT PROCESS
Style Guide: Address system-wide design issues (visual, interaction, content, implementation)
Epic & User Stories (& backlog): Create & Groom to adequately address a11y needs & requirements
Wireframes & User Stories (Requirements):
“Design in” accessible interactions
Design Comps: Review (against style guide) to prevent inaccessible presentation
Review text & non-text content appropriateness, technical barriers and level of distraction
Review code and interfaces for technical implementation issues & possible accessibility barriers
