Accessibility Testing

Tools to Check Accessibility

Don't depend on automated tools. Many Bobby approved sites are totally inaccessible.

• Accessibility Tool Bar: http://www.nils.org.au/ais/web/resources/toolbar/
• Markup Validator: http://validator.w3.org/
• CSS Validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
• Text only browser, LYNX: http://lynx.isc.org/release/
• Text Magnifier: http://www.aisquared.com/Products/ZoomText8_mag/FreeTrial/Z8FreeTrial.htm
• JAWS: http://www.freedomscientific.com/
• Browsers – test your site with multiple browsers on multiple platforms
• Self testing - User testing
• Common sense -- Experience it yourself.  For example: Link text that is all "click here" is accessible by bobby but not users
