Accessibility Testing & Validation
Use this skill when testing accessibility across real scenarios and devices. Focus on verifying whether a product is actually usable by people with disabilities, not just whether it appears compliant.
Test Across Methods
- Run keyboard-only, screen reader, zoom, contrast, and motion-reduction checks
- Validate on desktop and mobile where relevant
- Test both happy paths and error states
- Include forms, navigation, dialogs, dynamic content, and media
Validate Meaningfully
- Distinguish between technical compliance and real usability
- Confirm whether labels, structure, focus behavior, and feedback are understandable
- Watch for issues that automated tools miss, including context and interaction flow
- Retest fixes in the same user journey where the issue occurred
Output
- Summarize findings by severity and user impact
- Note which tests were performed and what remains unverified
- Recommend practical follow-up validation where needed
