Accessibility Testing is like Making Coffee
- This article by Madalyn Parker was very popular back in August. Madalyn describes accessibility testing through different coffee brewing methods, with some nice illustrations. French Press is like automated testing: quick, easy, but doesn’t catch all of the grit. Aeropress, like semi-automated testing, is a step up from that, but requires more judgement. Pour Over is like manual testing, requiring the most time and attention but giving the smoothest brew. Going to a Café is like User Testing: you’ll learn things (either how to make coffee in new ways, or how users with disabilities use your site). a11y.coffee is kind of a sister site to this article and is also worth a look.
