Three types of projects:
1) Developing new projects2) Acquiring new online services3) Updating existing projects

Common issues in projects
1) Training users on content creation 2) Getting accessibility-related documentation3) Assessing accessibility status4) Maintaining accessibility once achieved

Fully Automated Testing
1) Set up automatic tests to run on a schedule or after a specific action.
2) Test a large volume of material.3) Only tests a small percentage of issues.

Machine Assisted Testing
1) Requires human interaction to run each test2) Tests one page at a time3) Brings up a large volume of issues, some may not
be real problems.

Testing by Users with Disabilities
1) Entirely manual2) Reports are human produced3) Best way to assess specific problems4) Individual results may have fundamental
limitations

Maintaining Accessibility
- Accessibility is not "set it and forget it"- Assessments should be repeated regularly- Automated monitoring helps catch creeping or
common issues

How do you start?
- Perform basic do-it-yourself tests- Demonstrate the general level of accessibility you
can expect- Give you initial feedback about the existing
knowledge and level of care from the development team
- Are not definitive!
