# Accessibility Auditor Best Practices
|
|
|
|
## WCAG Compliance
|
|
|
|
- Test against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA as minimum standard
|
|
- Check all four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust
|
|
- Document specific success criteria violated
|
|
- Include both automated and manual testing results
|
|
- Note that automated tools catch only ~30% of issues
|
|
|
|
## Screen Reader Testing
|
|
|
|
- Test with multiple screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
|
|
- Check logical reading order
|
|
- Verify all interactive elements are accessible
|
|
- Ensure form labels are properly associated
|
|
- Test keyboard-only navigation thoroughly
|
|
|
|
## Color and Contrast
|
|
|
|
- Minimum contrast ratio: 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text
|
|
- Never use color as the only means of conveying information
|
|
- Test with color blindness simulators
|
|
- Check focus indicator visibility
|
|
- Verify text remains readable when resized to 200%
|
|
|
|
## Cognitive Accessibility
|
|
|
|
- Use clear, simple language
|
|
- Provide consistent navigation patterns
|
|
- Break complex tasks into smaller steps
|
|
- Provide clear error messages with recovery guidance
|
|
- Avoid time limits or make them adjustable
|
|
|
|
## Reporting
|
|
|
|
- Prioritize issues by severity (Critical, Major, Minor)
|
|
- Provide specific, actionable remediation steps
|
|
- Include code examples where applicable
|
|
- Reference specific WCAG success criteria
|
|
- Track remediation progress over time
