1 Why test for WCAG?

Testing your website for WCAG compliance is not only a good practice for improving your website's usability and user satisfaction, but also a legal requirement in many countries and regions. By testing your website for WCAG, you can ensure that your website meets the minimum accessibility criteria and avoid potential lawsuits and penalties. Moreover, testing your website for WCAG can also benefit your SEO and online reputation, as search engines and users tend to favor websites that are accessible and inclusive.

Ya sea texto, imágenes, formularios, sonido o video, las necesidades de las personas son las mismas: Obtener información, sin embargo no todos contamos con las mismas oportunidades para percibir o interpretar esos datos y si consideras que el contenido de tu sitio web es de valor, debes prepararlo para que más gente pueda acceder a el en términos de percepción, operación y comprensión del contenido.

2 What are the WCAG levels?

WCAG has three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. Each level has a set of success criteria that your website must meet or exceed to be considered compliant. Level A is the lowest and easiest level, while level AAA is the highest and most difficult level. Depending on your target audience, your website's purpose, and your legal obligations, you may need to test your website for different levels of WCAG compliance. For most websites, level AA is the recommended level, as it covers the most common and important accessibility issues.

Debes tener en cuenta quién te estará leyendo, viendo o escuchando y desde esa perspectiva, preparar a tu sitio para cumplir sus objetivos tomando en cuenta el cumplimiento de la ley -si aplica en tu país- pero sobre todo, cumplir como ser humano solidario con un contenido de valor en tu sitio web, de acuerdo a tus posibilidades pero al menos con el nivel A, garantizando el uso satisfactorio de la web para el mayor número de personas posible independientemente de las barreras físicas y ambientales. Además, el posicionamiento del sitio se beneficiará con el SEO.

3 How to test for WCAG manually?

One of the most effective ways to test your website for WCAG compliance is to do it manually. This means that you have to check your website's content and functionality against the WCAG success criteria and verify that they meet or exceed the requirements. You can use the WCAG Quick Reference Guide as a checklist and a reference for the success criteria and the techniques to implement them. You can also use the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool as a browser extension or a web service to scan your website for accessibility errors and warnings and get suggestions on how to fix them.

Desde luego que al no tener en el mejor de los casos, algún elemento que nos limite en la percepción del mundo que nos rodea, es difícil probar si nuestro sitio web cumple con la accesibilidad mínima para los visitantes que sufren de alguna condición permanente, temporal o situacional. Para ello podemos echar mano de algunas herramientas como Axe DevTools, Colour Contrasr Analyser pero en caso de ser manuales hay que considerar: 1. Pruebas de uso de colores 2. Prueba de foco en los campos 3. Pruebas de navegación 4. Pruebas de “zooming” 5. Pruebas con lector de pantalla

4 How to test for WCAG automatically?

In order to test your website for WCAG compliance, you should use automated tools that can scan your website's code and content and generate reports on any accessibility issues. However, automated tools are not perfect and should be supplemented with manual testing and user feedback. Popular and effective automated WCAG testing tools include axe, Siteimprove, and Lighthouse. Axe is free and open source, while Siteimprove is a paid comprehensive tool that can test for WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 compliance, as well as other aspects of web quality. Lighthouse is also free and open source, and can test for WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 compliance as well as other aspects of web performance such as speed, usability, and best practices. All of these tools provide detailed reports on the accessibility issues and how to fix them, as well as track progress over time.

5 How to test for WCAG with users?

The ultimate goal of testing your website for WCAG compliance is to make it more accessible and user-friendly for your actual and potential users. To do this, it's best to involve your users in the testing process and get their feedback and suggestions. There are multiple methods you can use to test with users, such as usability testing, accessibility testing, and surveys or feedback forms. Usability testing involves observing and interviewing users as they perform tasks on your website, while accessibility testing requires testing with users who have different disabilities. Lastly, surveys and feedback forms ask users to fill out surveys or feedback forms on your website. You can use tools like UserTesting, AccessWorks, SurveyMonkey, or Hotjar to conduct these tests online or in person.
