Never mind the content: the importance of Authoring Tools in achieving Web Accessibility
•
2 likes•1,016 views
- Authoring tools are software used to create and publish web content, like content management systems, blogging tools, and word processors. - The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) provide standards for making authoring tools and their output accessible, but awareness of ATAG is low. - For authoring tools and content to be accessible, tools must make it easy for all users, including non-experts and people with disabilities, to create accessible web content. Evaluation and selection of authoring tools should consider how well they support the creation of accessible content.

After working with different organisations to create accessible designs systems, our Accessible Services Director, Sarah Pulis, shares some practical tips, tricks and pitfalls to help you create an accessible design system.
Practical Accessibility Testing
How do you know if your web site is accessible? Can automated testing tools help? Glenda Sims will share gems from her 10+ years of experience testing sites for accessibility. Equip yourself with free and powerful testing tools. Learn how to turn it up a notch when you need to monitor accessibility across a vast enterprise. See some of the very latest testing tools that will help you evaluate color contrast, dynamic content and WAI-ARIA compliance
Maintaining Quality in Open Source Projects by Meaghan Lewis
With software testing, it’s a good idea to keep the end user in mind, but with open source software this is absolutely necessary. Open source projects largely rely on community engagements and involvement. Whether that be asking questions, reporting issues, or submitting pull requests.
Testing an open source project must account for working with the community in these ways. There must be processes in place to support community members in their efforts to contribute and to leverage the feedback they provide in order to impact the product’s quality positively.
In this SauceCon 2018 session, Meaghan will share strategies to maintain high quality in open source projects. She will draw on her experience testing open source projects at GitHub and discuss the ways collaborating with the community has allowed her to test more creatively while keeping the users in mind.

A prototype is worth 1,000 meetings. The document discusses tips for collaborating on mobile-first prototyping including that interactive prototypes allow for quick initial development, align teams, and allow clients to test designs before development is complete. Key learnings are that prototypes streamline development processes, help clients visualize mobile designs, and designing directly in the browser saves time over adding elements for larger devices. Resources for prototyping and testing tools as well as contacts are provided.

This document provides instructions for students to create a function comparison matrix for educational tools. Students will be assigned to groups based on the category of tools and cannot talk, instead having to communicate digitally. Each group needs an editor and must determine a communication plan. They will create a wiki page with a matrix comparing the basic features of their assigned tools and recommend the best one(s), justifying their choice. Finally, groups will present their recommendations and submit a post on their teacher website with the matrix, educational value, and practical issues.

This document discusses the requirements and process for advancing the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to version 2.1. It outlines the criteria that must be met, including implementation experience requirements, response to issues, and exit criteria. It also discusses the anatomy of new success criteria, including proposed criteria for identifying common input purposes and enabling personalization at different conformance levels (AA and AAA).
Prototyping - Get the right tools and workflow
Prototyping is an important part of the design process that allows designers to test concepts and assumptions through iterative refinement. There are different types of prototypes that serve different purposes, from low-fidelity paper prototypes for collaboration to high-fidelity digital prototypes for detailed user testing. Choosing the right prototyping tool depends on factors like the intended audience, required level of detail, need for interactivity, and integration with other tools. Evaluating tools based on their learning curve, speed, affordability, and ability to support iterations is key to finding the best fit for each prototyping task.

Usability heuristics for documentation by Anupama Gummaraju
Heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method where experts examine an interface and judge its compliance with recognized usability principles, called "heuristics". Evaluators identify usability issues in the interface's design. In contrast, content reviews focus on quality checking aspects like formatting, completeness, spelling, and accuracy through peer reviews or technical reviews rather than on design-centered usability issues. The document discusses developing heuristics for evaluating documentation interfaces and content, providing examples of heuristics for accessing help, finding information, and using information. It outlines applying the method through a questionnaire, checklist, group review, or rating scale and refining the method through piloting.
Incorporating accessibility into your product - UPA 2012 unconference
1. Educate the entire product team about accessibility best practices for their specific roles through seminars, resources, and naming an accessibility expert.
2. Get buy-in from leadership to allocate developer time for accessibility by highlighting its benefits like minimal effort, legal compliance, and avoiding bad press.
3. Create role-specific accessibility checklists and processes like including requirements in design specs, checking during demos, code reviews, and writing defects for issues found.
4. Repeatedly remind and encourage the team about accessibility as forming new habits takes time and repetition.
201796 Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) - home page Web .docx
The document discusses the next wave in web design moving beyond usability to persuasive design which designs websites to influence users' decisions and behavior through persuasion, emotion, and trust. It discusses how persuasive design called PET design aims to systematically influence online customer behavior by leveraging the science of persuasion and designing for emotional triggers and trust. The goal is to motivate users to take actions like conversions through strategic design that impacts business metrics.

Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Director of Hassell Inclusion and lead author of BS8878) at UK-UPA 'Call to action: Designing inclusive user experiences' event London, Sept 2011.
Covers: what accessibility is really all about (inclusive UX); how BS8878 helps organisations understand the business case for accessibility; how to embed accessibility in their business-as-usual; how different job roles each contribute to whether a product includes or excludes disabled and elderly people; how policies can facilitate or inhibit accessibility; now to make good decisions about accessibility; how to ensure you have the right user-research so your decisions are made on facts not assumptions; what BS8878 enables UX staff to do more easily; how hassell inclusion can help you move forwards in implementing BS8878
Quality and the "Secret Mission:" From End-Stage Tester to Skilled Analyst
Are you tired of coming in at the end of a project to do accessibility testing with little control over schedule and design? Are you concerned with how your team will adjust to the changes in accessibility law?
Here is a roadmap of best practices, political tools, learning lists, and background knowledge to increase the quality of work for the beginner development-side tester responsible for accessibility. This course of action will also plant seeds to move you toward a long term role as a skilled analyst able to fulfill requirements and to participate in the user experience from the beginning of the lifecycle on for both creativity and a more pleasant project for everyone.
Emerging PM Tools Webinar
The document summarizes a project to evaluate emerging project management tools. The project team aims to select evaluation criteria that can be shared, create evaluation forms and guides, and validate the evaluation model. The evaluation model uses case studies to assess how well tools address typical project management needs. Tools are evaluated based on features, costs, and responses to questions related to needs in case studies for waterfall, agile, and collaboration-based projects. Initial results show some tools score higher for certain project types. Next steps include launching a permanent tool observatory and testing the case studies and evaluation form.

Accessibility as a focus for people-first design
This document summarizes a presentation about accessibility and people-first design. It discusses how focusing only on the majority of users ignores edge cases and accessibility needs, and advocates for involving disabled people in the design process to uncover usability issues. It provides tips for conducting inclusive user research, such as accommodating participants, choosing an accessible location, and sharing results in impactful ways. The overall message is that considering accessibility and those outside the typical user leads to better design.
One no, many yeses—sharing responsibility for accessibility
This document discusses how to distribute responsibility for accessibility across project teams. It suggests that each part of a project team that can influence accessibility should do so positively. It provides examples of tactics that different roles like development, UX design, and content strategy can use to take responsibility for accessibility. The key message is that accessibility requires both distributing responsibility across roles and giving each role the authority to positively impact accessibility.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
