#a11yTO (Accessibility Toronto) hosted a meetup at Hacker You where Bill Anstice and I gave a talk on how to test a website for accessibility using 5 free test tools. We selected these tools to provide good coverage in finding various accessibility issues. The 5 free tools are:
- keyboard
- Windows Magnifier
- Colour Contrast Analyser
- aXe
- NVDA
If the embedded slides don’t show for you, then you can get to them directly at SlideShare or download the PowerPoint file.
