Accessibility is a right, NOT a privilege. When we build and test, we need to take user needs into account. But what and how do we need to test?

What you’ll learn

• Learn about tools you can use to consider different user needs
• Review examples that can easily be overlooked
• How to take your first steps towards testing for accessibility
• Easy manual testing techniques anyone can use
