# Testing accessibility strategy — Web Accessibility (A11y)

> Develop a comprehensive approach to accessibility testing.

## Testing plan

Start with WCAG 2.1 AA checklist. Identify high-risk areas (forms, interactive widgets). Plan both automated and manual testing. Allocate 10-15% of project time for accessibility.

## Team involvement

Accessibility isn't just QA's job. Designers consider contrast. Developers implement semantic HTML. Product managers prioritize accessibility. Everyone contributes.

## CI/CD integration

Run axe-core or pa11y in CI/CD pipeline. Fail builds on critical issues. This prevents regressions.

## User testing with disabilities

Best way to validate accessibility: test with real users who have disabilities. Platforms like UserTesting.com have accessible user panels.
