What is accessibilty testing?

Accessibility testing is the act of identifying barriers to access a website. Methods to test for accessibility can include:

• keyboard navigation testing
• screen magnification testing
• colour contrast testing
• checking for alternative text

Each method can find accessibility issues that may go unnoticed. As a developer, you should do accessibility testing early and often in a website’s development. Doing these tasks early can help to improve a website’s overall accessibility and usability.
