Just like any other testing, you would need to plan well ahead of time for accessibility testing. You must identify the project objectives, define what needs to be tested to achieve them, and most importantly how to test. Having an effective test strategy and documented approach will help layout the roadmap for testing and produce a quality product with reduced risks. There’s a lot of aspects to be considered for Accessibility, some of them are listed below.
- Application Type
- Customers or Users of the application
- Regulation, Legislation, and Laws of the land
- Aspects of Accessibility to cover
- Compatibility (Cross-platform, devices, and browsers)
- WCAG Guidelines / Levels
- Testing Tools
- Defects Management (Reporting, Resolution & Retesting)
- Assumptions, Risks, and Constraints
