Accessibility Testing: awareness and tools (NL)
What is Accessibility Testing: awareness and tools
Accessibility Testing: awareness and tools provides a practical introduction to assessing digital accessibility. You will learn why accessibility is a critical element of product quality and which risks organisations face when it is not considered.
Throughout the course, you work with practical methods and tools to quickly identify common accessibility issues. You will examine websites using automated checks and perform manual tests such as keyboard navigation, contrast and structure reviews, and initial screen reader exploration.
You also learn how to report findings clearly and effectively, including user impact and actionable recommendations. In addition, the course highlights how accessibility fits into agile delivery and how collaboration with UX and development teams leads to sustainable improvements.
