I created a tool to find the differences between how WCAG 2.x evaluates color and how APCA does it. It should be easier to find when one model actually works better than the other.

Testing Methods: Focus Appearance
WCAG 2.4.13 Focus Appearance ensures users can clearly perceive keyboard focus. A hybrid testing approach, combining automated, AI-based, and manual methods, delivers scalable, nuanced, and human-centered validation, enhancing usability for all users, including those with visual or motor impairments.

It's common to hear "fully accessible" to describe products which pass WCAG 2.2 AA. But, are they really?

In this post, I explore 5 examples of why WCAG, as awesome as it is, is not a measure of great usability or performance.

The Value of Selecting Selects by Value
This is meant to use voice control to test select menus (and other fields, but the title would be less weird) by their value because their accessible names are hidden. I’m sharing results of that testing. This was partially driven by: WCAG issue #3808 SC 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions and…

Great shirt from @Vivaldi. Replace "tab management" with "#wcag" and I'd buy one in every color and wear them every workday.

Headings and labels need to describe the content they are identifying in the content. This means when you have a H1 is should describe the page as a whole. Labels need to describe the data they are collecting. #a11y #wcag #accessibility #development

Headings and labels need to describe the content they are identifying in the content. This means when you have a H1 is should describe the page as a whole. Labels need to describe the data they are collecting. Seems simple. And usually it is. Let's look at some examples of when it isn't as clear.

Stop clock-watching accessibility tests. The real win is inclusive process, not fast passes.

Testing Methods: No Timing
WCAG 2.2.3 No Timing ensures users aren’t limited by time when interacting with content. A Level AAA criterion, it promotes inclusivity by allowing users to pause, stop, or extend timers. A hybrid of automated, AI, and manual testing best ensures accessibility for all.

WCAG 3 ... a change of context, from Steve Faulkner

WCAG 3 a change of context – HTML Accessibility
Why change? The old skool WCAG 2x definition of a web page is not fit for purpose when WCAG is used to test non web user interfaces as it is, for example native apps it leads to suboptimal outcomes.

The WCAG guidelines are important, but the language is dense, abstract, and hard to act on.
