Practical hands-on accessibility testing

lca2018.linux.org.au/schedule/...
Testing for web accessibility can feel daunting when you aren't used to it. But with the growing requirements for sites to meet accessibility guidelines, it has become an unescapable part of a developer's life. Accessibility should be seen as a challenge, rather than a chore.
This workshop will demonstrate an accessibility testing workflow that can be integrated in coding workflow, and will include a review of automated testing, and hands-on manual testing using a variety of tools, from using the keyboard to using a screen reader application. We will work on real life sites, as well as some code snippets.
Participants will leave the workshop with a solid understanding of common accessibility barriers and methods to test for, and remediate, these barriers.
This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.
linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.

Wonderful content. Looking forward for the part 2. Please share the part 2

[@thebookkeeper3508]

Was part 2 ever shared? Is it just me having missed it, or was part 2 going to be about the third kind of testing, user testing?

Thanks Nick, from India

[@aliaksandrasaywell3826]

I came across this just now. Great video. How do you access desktop apps or enterprise systems for accesability, please?

i am getting confuse about onfocus and oninput can u give me a clarity about those...

[@kbtkitchenbeautytech4246]

While entering any input if any action performed that comes under oninput ex:in edit box if u type example: 'amer' if it take automatically america If focus move to one content witbout any user action if it is performed any action that comes under onfocus example : for dropdown or list items without invoking if it automtically expand

[@gereyang5273]

I have a problem same. Thing

[@simplyaccessibility]

I would like to ask you if you can clarify what % of testing should be done using available tools in the market and what % should be tested manually for accessibility? I strongly believe we are not there yet where the entire testing can be relied on available tools. How these available tools and manual testing process should be combined to come up with a full proof accessible digital content?
