Assistive Technology Testing
Test journeys with specified assistive technologies and device/browser combinations. Findings show barriers and reproduction steps.
Why?
A technical checklist alone cannot explain every interaction barrier. Focused assistive technology testing examines how agreed tasks work with the selected setup, distinguishes observed behaviour from assumptions, and gives developers reproducible findings.
-
Task-level evidence
Findings show where a selected assistive setup supports or blocks a task, with clear test conditions.
-
Reproducible observations
Developers receive steps, environment details, and consented evidence where available, rather than a broad compatibility claim.
Our process
Define tasks and test setups
We agree on critical journeys, languages, assistive technologies, devices, browsers, and whether participant recruitment is included.
Prepare test scenarios
We write task scripts and success criteria, arrange access, and confirm consent and recording rules for any participant sessions.
Run the agreed sessions
We test the scoped tasks with the specified tools. Recruited participants join only where agreed, with their context recorded separately from expert checks.
Assess task barriers
We document task outcomes, announcements, focus behaviour, and workarounds, then prioritise issues by impact on completion.
Recommend practical fixes
We link reproducible findings to likely interface causes and recommendations for engineering review.
Review fixes and remaining gaps
Where included, we retest selected issues on the agreed setups and report what changed and what remains untested.
Questions?
We select relevant tools and device/browser combinations with you. Screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or other modalities are included only when specified and available for the agreed scope.
When participant testing is included, we agree on participant criteria, recruitment, accessibility accommodations, and consent. Expert tool testing is not presented as research with real users.
Each finding records the task, tool and environment, observed barrier, reproduction steps, and recommended action. Recordings or quotations are included only with appropriate consent.
We define retesting separately in the scope, including issue count or selection, environments, and review rounds. Results do not establish compatibility with untested tools or every user setup.
