Vetting the Tech: How to Audit Component Libraries and Request Remediations

For many product and development teams, using a third-party component library seems like a shortcut to a faster launch. However, taking a library’s “accessible” label at face value can inherit massive technical debt. To truly protect your user experience and engineering timeline, you need a strategy to evaluate, test, and vet interactive elements before you commit to using them.

Join Accessible Web Kelsie Cleboski, for an insightful session on how to move past basic coding tutorials and dive straight into smart component procurement and strategy. She will discuss how to audit third-party code—specifically tackling tricky interactive states like hovers and pseudo-elements—and how to handle vendor accountability. We’ll explore:

• Evaluating Documentation: How to critically review vendor accessibility claims and spot red flags before you npm install.
• Real-World Testing: Live strategies for testing complex pseudo-elements and interactive component behaviors.
• Requesting Remediations: How to successfully submit bulletproof GitHub issues, demand fixes, and hold third-party vendors accountable.

Join us on June 4, 2026, at 2 PM EST! Bring any questions for the Q&A session after this short free webinar.
