Manual Testing Strategies

In addition to automated testing, and testing with AT, manual testing is also an important part of web accessibility auditing. A number of simple manual tests will be introduced so you can quickly get a general sense of the accessibility of a website and identify key issues with just a cursory scan. For the developers taking this course, more complex manual testing will also be introduced, involving the examination of source code and dynamically tweaking code to test potential solutions. Manual testing is often done as part of an informal web accessibility review, which will be covered in greater detail in the unit Web Accessibility Audit Reporting.
