Description

Automated testing is an excellent first step for accessibility testing but cannot be the only step. Manual testing is the most important part of accessibility testing and will catch the majority of WCAG violations. It cannot be automated away.

In this talk, we will explore ten WCAG Success Criteria that can only be evaluated by human testers. You will learn how to identify these issues and why automated tests cannot solve these problems.
