Sharing the slides pack on Accessibility testing talk at Agile India. This pack has some good tips around how to get started with a11y on various SDLC stages and some new methodologies
This document discusses accessibility testing approaches. It describes the "tool first" approach where testing occurs after development using assistive technologies to identify defects, and the "shift left" approach where accessibility is considered earlier in the design process through inclusive design and accessible coding practices. The document also provides definitions and examples of accessibility, examples of assistive technologies and compliance laws, case studies on the benefits of accessibility, and an overview of the WCAG guidelines and conformance levels.
An introduction to the concept of Web Accessibility describing the What, Why and How of making your website accessible i.e. available to users with disabilities such as color blindness, low vision, deafness and/or motor control disability.
Practical tools for Web Accessibility testingToufic Sbeiti
There is no single tool that does a full accessibility assessment of a web page. Developers use a variety of tools to help them evaluate websites. This is a practical talk with lots of demos. I will share my favorites, free and easy to use, tools to measure the level of accessibility of web page.
Understanding and Supporting Web AccessibilityRachel Cherry
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. When your website is accessible, all users can access your content and functionality no matter their abilities. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use a mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device. Most accessibility features will also improve your SEO.
When your site is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your users.
This talk will cover the basics of accessibility, why it’s important, and how you can support accessibility in your projects.
Web accessibility refers to making websites usable by people with disabilities and ensuring everyone can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. There are four main categories of accessibility - vision, motor/dexterity, auditory, and cognitive. Ensuring keyboard accessibility, using semantic HTML, managing focus and tab order, providing text alternatives and labels, and maintaining sufficient color contrast are some of the most important factors in web accessibility. Screen readers also rely on proper semantics and landmarks to announce web pages to users.
Web Accessibility in its simplest definition is all about making sure websites work for the widest possible audience. This seminar would involve a quick introduction to Web Accessibility, Web Accessibility Issues, Guidelines etc.
A Web for Everyone: Accessibility as a design challengeWhitney Quesenbery
Let's get past the idea that checklists and compliance all there is to accessibility. Designing for accessibility is a user experience design problem, starting with understanding how people with disabilities use your products. If we aim to design for all senses we can focus on easy interaction, helpful wayfinding, clean presentation, plain language and media instead of "rules." Doing so, we can create a web for everyone and a delightful user experience where accessibility and usability work together.

#techInColor 2017: Practical Web Accessibility TestingMikey Ilagan
From my 2017 #techInColor lightning talk for Philly Tech Week.
Summary
=======
Thinking about accessibility in every step of your process ensures legal compliance but helps create a well-designed, more inclusive product that reaches a broader range of people. Testing your site or application for common accessibility user experience problems helps reduce barriers between you and your intended audience.
Watch a recorded screencast of this presentation on YouTube (10m 6s): https://youtu.be/0uoH66mnqNw
This document discusses the benefits of conducting usability testing with people who have disabilities as part of an organization's accessibility testing strategy. Usability testing can help prioritize issues found in accessibility reviews by focusing on tasks that users need to complete. Issues discovered during usability testing include both accessibility problems and usability problems not directly related to accessibility. Involving people with disabilities in usability testing can provide insights not discovered through automated and manual accessibility testing alone. The document provides recommendations for effective usability testing approaches.
Grassroots Accessibility: Driving change from the middle outComrade
When we think about accessibility in the context of web technologies, we often associate it with designing products and services for those with disabilities. Yet with digital interactions becoming increasingly common—and often critical to our lives—we should really be thinking of accessibility as a universal design necessity that serves everyone's best interests.
On April 24, 2014, we hosted and moderated a UXPA Meetup, where we discussed accessibility with a specific focus on methods for advancing the practice. We were joined by speakers from SSB BART Group and Kaiser Permanente, who discussed their perspectives and experiences improving accessibility for their companies and their clients.
I also presented on grassroots accessibility, focusing on tools and techniques anyone can use to move the bar within their own company, whether it be a startup or established business. I hope you enjoy my presentation as much as I did creating it.
Usability testing for mobile apps - Touch Tour ChennaiRIA RUI Society
This document discusses usability testing for mobile applications. It begins with an agenda and overview of the mobile app market. It then defines usability and explains why usability testing is important for mobile apps. Guidelines are provided for conducting usability tests, including testing 5-8 users, measuring success rates and task times, and identifying errors. Both formative testing during development and summative testing after release are described. Examples are given of evaluating different aspects of usability.
Accessibility, Usability and User Centred Design (Usabiltiy)David Lamas
The document discusses usability, including what it is, why it is important, and how to test for it. It defines usability as a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. Usability is important because if a product or website is not usable, users will leave and sales or productivity will suffer. The document recommends testing usability throughout the design process, from testing competitors' products early on to testing each iteration of a new design. It provides guidance on planning usability tests, including defining goals, tasks, metrics, and selecting participants and methods. Common metrics mentioned are task success, time on task, errors, efficiency, and learnability over time.
User testing is the most effective usability evaluation method. It involves observing representative users attempting typical tasks to identify usability issues. Only 5 users are typically needed to find the most critical problems. Multiple short tests with revisions between are better than one large study. Issues are best identified by directly observing what users do rather than just listening to what they say. Regular user testing throughout development prevents major issues that are costly to fix late.
What the UX? – Confessions of a DesignerThomas Gläser
This document outlines the key principles of user experience (UX) design according to Thomas Glaeser, Head of UX at Delightex. It discusses how UX covers all interactions between humans and products/services. The UX framework involves understanding user needs, creating prototypes, and evaluating designs through user testing and feedback. Prototyping is important for learning early in the design process. Insights should be gathered through user research methods like interviews, observations and testing. The goal is to balance business goals, user goals and requirements to build products that are useful, usable and meaningful for users.
CAN I USE THIS? - A Mnemonic for Usability TestingDavid Greenlees
A presentation I gave at STARCanada in Toronto, April 2014.
This presentation expanded on the article I wrote for the November/December 2013 edition of Better Software Magazine... http://martialtester.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/bsm_can-i-use-this-nov-2013.pdf
This document discusses accessibility testing strategies and considerations. It suggests that testing with only screen readers may not be enough, as there are many factors that can impact accessibility including assistive technologies, browsers, and code/platforms. The document provides tips for defining a test matrix that considers operating systems, browsers, assistive technologies, and target audiences. It also outlines approaches for testing screen readers initially and then expanding to other assistive technologies, and discusses challenges in testing and fixing accessibility issues.

Demystify accessibility by explaining what users need, what developers can do to meet those needs and how accessibility works (from an application through the platform to assistive technology)
The document discusses various methods for measuring user experience (UX), including observing how users interact with an application, listening to their feedback, and analyzing usage data. It recommends conducting task-based observations of users thinking out loud and recording their screens. Surveys can gather general feedback, while specialized questions should avoid bias. Eye tracking and usage logs provide objective data on what users look at and do. Heuristic evaluation involves rating an app against usability best practices. Together, these methods support continuous UX improvement.
Corso Interazione Uomo Macchina e Sviluppo Applicazioni Mobile - GoBusAlessandro Longo
This document summarizes the results of usability testing conducted on the GoBus mobile application. Usability tests were performed with 10 novice users and 10 expert users completing tasks in GoBus and its competitor Moovit. The results found that users took fewer steps, less time, and made fewer errors to complete tasks in GoBus compared to Moovit, indicating that GoBus had better usability. Statistical analysis confirmed the test results were significant. Future work is planned to improve additional features of GoBus.

This document discusses observability in distributed test environments. It provides an overview of observability concepts like telemetry, distributed tracing, and spans. It explains how distributed tracing with tools like Jaeger can help with root cause analysis, performance optimization, and dependency analysis for distributed systems. The document also discusses how observability and distributed tracing principles can be applied to testing, including testing in production and using distributed tracing with Selenium Grid to visualize test flows.
Selenium 4 introduces several new features for browser automation including relative locators, support for the Chrome DevTools Protocol, and observability features for the Selenium Grid. Relative locators allow finding elements using terms like "above", "below", and "to the left/right of" another element. The Chrome DevTools Protocol enables accessing Chrome developer tools domains. Selenium Grid now supports OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing of requests to provide observability. A demo shows visualizing traces in Jaeger. Beyond Selenium 4, future plans include bidirectional APIs and new locator strategies using images and artificial intelligence.
This document provides a guide to accessibility testing, outlining different types of testing methods including manual tests, end-to-end tests, integration tests, unit tests, and static checks. It emphasizes the importance of involving people with disabilities in testing and highlights some popular tools for each category such as Axe, Selenium, and Storybook for accessibility.

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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

8. The Web Accessibility Initiative at the
World Wide Web Consortium outlined four main
web accessibility principles in the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines : WCAG
9. WCAG Conformance Levels
Level A Level AA Level AAA
Basic Level of A11Y Most Common
Barriers
Highest Level of
A11Y
13 38 61
Web Content Accessibility Guidance : W3C
12. We all need to understand that accessibility (a11y)
isn’t “someone else’s job” ;
Accessibility is everyone’s responsibility and its even
better if it starts from us as <role you play>.
13. Early planning on Accessibility leads to multiple benefits:
• Reducing legal risks
• Strengthening brand presence
• Improving customer experience
• Inclusive and productive teams
Inclusive design practices should be advocated.
• Product roadmap with user personas with disabilities
• Design of user interaction considers experiences other than screens when accessibility is a consideration.
• The result is, interaction that is more human-centered, natural, and contextual.
Understand the guidelines and select the conformance levels adhere to.
• The conformance levels should be built into the project's formal technical specifications and included as part
of the budget.

An accessible site is one whose content can be accessed regardless of any user's impairments and whose functionality can also be operated by the most diverse range of users possible.
As developers, it's easy to assume that all users can see and use a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen to interact with your page. This can lead to an experience that works well for some people but creates issues for others that range from simple annoyances to complete blockers.
Accessibility deserves dedicated thinking and planning, but it should not be done in isolation. Rather, it should be integrated into your organization’s processes. There may be legal requirements which should be taken into consideration. Many organizations use WCAG as a target for accessibility. For example, an organization may set its target to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A or Level AA success criteria. Developing an accessibility policy is a good way to clarify and communicate its target.
Early planning on Accessibility leads to multiple benefits:
Inclusive design practices should be advocated.
Think about user personas with disabilities design of user interaction considers experiences other than screens when accessibility is a consideration.
Think through and accept a conformance levels adhere to. The conformance levels should be built into the project's formal technical specifications and included as part of the budget.
(Global Experience Language)
Checklists often work well for the developer mindset and are essential at the planning stage when product requirements are defined, at the design stage in the creation of the design, and during development when implementation of the product begins.
https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/appendixB.html
Most of the things can be built using native HTML constructs
Start early with Accessibility. Starting early has many benefits including that it is much less costly than assessing accessibility at the end of a project. Involve the whole team. Ensure that all concerned (project board, team members, designers, content providers and developers) all understand the requirements for accessibility. Once the "why" of accessibility is understood, the "how" is easy to implement and can eventually be introduced as a best practice within the organization.
The most robust way to ensure long-term accessibility is to ensure that the accessibility knowledge is incorporated and remains within the organizations.
