Testing Your Digital Materials

Identify accessibility issues quickly and easily

Testing web accessibility requires both automated and manual review.

Use automated tools to identify common issues: missing alt text, low color contrast, improper heading structure, and ARIA misuse. These tools provide quick, repeatable feedback and can be integrated into CI pipelines to prevent regressions.

Verify automated results and find more issues with manual testing, focusing on:

Keyboard-only navigation
Logical focus order and visible focus indicators
Meaningful link text
Clear, consistent form labels and error messages
Correct semantic HTML markup for headings, lists, tables and landmarks
