Manual and Functional Testing Manual and functional testing are an essential component of accessibility testing. These testing types involve using human expertise to check the automated tests and then having trained teams and persons with disabilities actually engage with the digital experiences directly. There simply isn't any technology that can replace this portion of accessibility testing. When conducting a manual review, a sample test plan should include the following components: Ensure you're testing the most accurate environments for all users: • Check Google Analytics to determine high trafficked pages. • Cross reference this list against WebAIM's Screen Reader Survey and Low Vision Survey. Cross check the accessibility features with HTML 5 Browser Accessibility to ensure all features are supported Keyboard accessibility check Code validation check Automated accessibility tool check User stories for manual and functional testing: • Develop accessibility-related user stories, such as: • As a keyboard only user, I want the ability to reach all links (text or image), form controls and page functions, so that I can perform an action or navigate to the place I choose. • As a user who is hearing-impaired, I want closed captioning functionality so that I can have access to all information provided in video clips. • Ask yourself the questions: • Why is the screen reader reading the sidebar before the main article? • Do I have to tab through every page and every navigation before getting to the content? (Why isn't there a skip to content link?) • What does image IMG_238429.jpg mean? • What did I miss on the page? 7 | essentialaccessibility.com
