Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:

The most useful accessibility testing tools and techniques

  • Artem Sapegin describes how he tests a11y as a frontend developer. FastPass mode in the Accessibility Insights browser extension highlights the two most common issues to fix. He also uses axe. For contrast checking, he uses Chrome DevTools’ built-in contrast checker and Spectrum. He manually tests navigating the site with a keyboard (focus states etc), using a screen reader, and attempting to zoom in 200%. Finally, he checks the site in ‘browser reading mode’ and in dark mode.
