How to do accessibility testing

Testing website accessibility is achieved through a combination of workflows. Automatic scanning catches a portion of violations. Automated testing uses tools, like the RAMP platform or our Chrome Extension. Use the Accessible Web Helper Chrome browser extension in combination with RAMP for on-page automated scanning and failure highlighting.

To catch the rest of the violations, a full manual audit is needed. This can be achieved by a self-audit using the Manual Audit Tool and Grid in RAMP. You can also use professional third parties to audit your property, such as our WCAG Audits. Finally, assistive technology checks performed by native users should test your property.
