Accessibility Testing
Also written as a11y Testing
Testing that a product is actually usable by people with disabilities — screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, color contrast — using both automated scanners and real manual/assistive-technology checks, since automated tools alone catch only a fraction of real issues.
Think of it like
Like a building inspector who doesn't just check that a ramp technically exists, but actually rolls a wheelchair up it to see if it really works.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Relies entirely on an automated accessibility scanner.
Senior sounds like
Knows that only catches a fraction of real issues, and has done manual screen-reader or keyboard-only testing themselves.
Ask them
“Have you tested a feature manually with a screen reader or keyboard-only navigation, not just run an automated accessibility scanner on it?”
