Automation and Manual Testing Continuum the Key to Consistency and Efficiency
Tuesday, 10/10/23: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm in Studio E
Manual accessibility testing and automated testing are often considered independent techniques. Thinking about accessibility testing as two categories contributes to inefficiencies and creates sustainability roadblocks for organizations working to mature their processes around accessible digital properties. In this session, we’ll examine the benefits of using manual and automated testing together on a single continuum of rules. When combined with accessibility testing best practices, teams and businesses will achieve consistency, efficiency, and build a sustainable program.
Speaker: Mark Miller, Director of Sales, TPGi
