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
