Getting Started
There are a number of ways organizations can ramp up their manual testing capabilities:
Option 1
Build an in-house
team of accessibility
testers to perform QA
on digital properties in
development.
Option 2
Hire an outside
consultant to test your
website, apps and/or
electronic documents.
They will provide you with a one time
report outlining some issues and
barriers encountered, but more testing
will likely be required to understand the
full scope of issues.
Option 3 (recommended)
Work with an accessibility partner on a
continuous basis. They'll provide access
to an expert team of testers who manually
check digital properties in multiple
environments using different assistive
technologies. These partners also work
with you to develop a prioritization report
outlining the critical, high, medium and
low-level issues, monitor your digital
properties on an ongoing basis and integrate
seamlessly into your backend systems to
better collaborate with your team.
Use the interactive
and printable WCAG
2.0 Level A and AA
checklists in this guide
to determine whether
your organization's
website meets the
success criteria required
for each level.
