Description
Watch this presentation in the Knowbility Learning Center
After doing audits with other accessibility consultants on web embedded applications and standalone programs, I have noticed several bugs being logged that are not valid, and/or get missed. Some auditors dismiss WCAG checkpoints that are valid to test and others fail some incorrectly.
In the session, we will go through the main accessibility methodologies of auditing applications, the tests that are the same for web pages and applications, and then the items that need a different approach. The session will include a mini-workshop for the audience to give thoughts on.
