Concepts

Accessibility affects nearly everyone in every industry, including you. Why? Because software is being used on more devices than ever before -- often under non-optimal conditions -- by people of all ages, many of whom have differing capabilities. You undoubtedly fit into one or more of these categories, as well as your users. Achieving "practical accessibility" means to ensure that a system works for everyone who is likely to use it (including users with disabilities), on a reasonable range of devices and situations, and complies with applicable standards and laws. This course provides practical testing strategies to confirm that a system complies with US Rehabilitation Act Section 508. It also shows how to verify that a system is accessible across a broader range of users and situations so that it can fulfill today's sophisticated expectations for all users.

Participants will learn:
  • What software accessibility is
    • Who and what it affects
    • How it applies to traditional software and web-based systems
    • Disabilities that affect users and devices (temporary, situational, and chronic)
    • Magnitude of the issue and opportunities
  • Standards that are used to determine software accessibility compliance
    • Federal, state, industry, and international laws
    • W3C web standards
    • Assistive technologies
    • Identifying the range of compliance desired or required
  • How to test for accessibility
    • Setting test priorities
    • Manual inspection and testing
    • Automated validation assistance
    • Key user trials and acceptance testing
  • Practical approaches to increasing accessibility
    • Early involvement in the software development process
    • Expertise pooling
    • Raising awareness that accessibility features are present
    • Standards and best practices
  • Where to get more information (for developers, testers, and managers)
