Our Accessibility Testing Process

Comprehensive WCAG 2.2 compliance testing that goes beyond automated tools

The Problem with DIY Accessibility

Automated tools like axe DevTools and Lighthouse are excellent starting points—but they only catch 30-40% of WCAG violations. To achieve true compliance and protect against lawsuits or regulatory action, you need human expertise.

What Automated Tools Miss

  • Screen reader logic and experience
  • Keyboard trap scenarios
  • Focus order problems
  • Meaningful alt text quality
  • Cognitive accessibility issues
  • Context-dependent ARIA usage

Why Human Testing Matters

  • Real assistive technology testing
  • Legal compliance certification
  • Subjective quality assessment
  • Complex interaction validation
  • User experience evaluation
  • Regulatory audit protection

Our Four-Step Process

1

Automated Discovery

We scan your entire website using industry-leading accessibility tools to identify technical violations:

  • Missing alt text on images
  • Color contrast failures
  • Invalid ARIA attributes
  • Structural HTML issues
  • Form accessibility problems
  • Semantic markup errors

Deliverable: Automated scan report with prioritized violations

2

Human Validation

Our IAAP-certified accessibility specialists manually test your site using real assistive technology:

  • Screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver testing
  • Keyboard navigation: Full tab order and interaction testing
  • Cognitive accessibility: Clear language, logical flow, error prevention
  • Real-world scenarios: Common user tasks and workflows

Deliverable: Comprehensive manual testing report

3

Actionable Reporting

You receive comprehensive documentation designed for developers and stakeholders:

  • Detailed violation reports: Organized by severity (Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor)
  • Code-level remediation: Specific fixes with before/after examples
  • WCAG 2.2 conformance statement: Level A, AA, or AAA assessment
  • Legal compliance documentation: Ready for audits and regulatory requirements
  • Prioritized roadmap: Phased approach to remediation

Deliverable: Complete audit report package

4

Support & Remediation

We don't just identify problems—we help you fix them:

  • Developer guidance: 30 days of email support for clarification
  • Re-testing: Verification of fixes (included in Comprehensive and Ongoing plans)
  • Training resources: Best practices for maintaining accessibility
  • Ongoing monitoring: Optional continuous compliance tracking

Deliverable: Continuous support until compliance achieved
