Law Chair, The 2018 ICT Accessibility Testing Symposium In this our third year of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Accessibility Testing Symposium, we continue to grow with expanded workshop offerings, a new competition, and a bigger planning committee. We have grown to have 19 papers, up from fourteen in 2017. From our first to second years we doubled attendance, and 97% of 2017 attendees surveyed were interested to return in 2018. We are excited to have as our keynote speaker one of the most prominent lawyers in the ICT accessibility space, Lainey Feingold. Lainey’s presentations are as entertaining as they are informative. Lainey will be discussing the importance of testing as it relates to legal compliance: if you aren’t testing, how do you know where you stand? Responding to a current gap in the accessibility testing field, the Symposium committee made Mobile Testing one of this year’s themes. A mobile testing subcommittee put together a new, freely available Mobile Test Process that will be published on the Symposium website, and introduced in one of our five interactive workshops. The other theme for this year, the Section 508 Refresh is also featured in a number of paper presentations. We are also introducing a new annual competition, aiming to expand the knowledge-base in areas that have traditionally received less attention at accessibility conferences. In this Symposium, we strive to foster an environment for networking and sharing professional practice and scientific analysis to collectively advance the ICT accessibility testing field. Thank you for joining us this year in Arlington, Virginia. —Dr. Chris M. Law 1 The 2018 ICT Accessibility Testing Symposium: Mobile Testing, 508 Revision, and Beyond Keynote.

Accessibility Testing 201 Gian Wild AccessibilityOz Melbourne, Victoria, Australia [email protected] Sheri Byrne-Haber Albertsons Companies San Francisco, CA, USA [email protected] Abstract The Accessibility Testing workshop will cover a whole range of testing requirements: starting with an overview of testing – who, when, what and how. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion, with exercises, of how to develop a scope analysis for a site (based on the W3C Evaluation Methodology). The afternoon will be spent looking at testing tools – with a demonstration of the main automated accessibility testing tools such as Deque’s WorldSpace, Level Access’ AMP, SiteImprove and OzART – followed by a demonstration and discussion of one-page testing tools such as WebAIM’s WAVE, the Paciello Group’s Colour Contrast Analyser, mobile testing tools and readability tools. The workshop will be run by Gian Wild, CEO of AccessibilityOz and Sheri Byrne-Haber, Accessibility Director at Alberstons Companies, and formerly from McDonalds. Gian started in the accessibility industry in 1998 and spent six years with the W3C contributing to WCAG2 and has been testing web sites for almost twenty years. Sheri is an Accessibility evangelist with a history of successfully architecting strategic global accessibility programs in a Fortune 200 environment, including deploying corporate policies, accessible digital property design and remediation using LEAN and AGILE software development techniques, analytics, and maturity modeling. Multi-dimensional skillset includes degrees in information science, law, business, and professional certifications in ADA Coordination and Accessibility Professional Core Competencies. Overview of presentation In this half day workshop, the following will be discussed: Choosing who will do the testing Will the testing be done internally or externally? If internally, do staff have the correct skills? Are their other tasks going to be completed by someone else or do they need to complete the testing in conjunction with their daily job? If externally, will it be a consultancy or a contractor? How will the decision be made? What is the budget? Who will make the final decision? Who 5 Workshops will manage the external people? Will assistive technology testing be done? If so, it should be done by people with disabilities who are very familiar with their assistive technology. Can existing staff do this assistive technology testing? Choosing when to test While building a web site accessibility should be considered when writing requirements; at wireframe and design; and template. Training should be conducted for staff and the final site should be tested. If an organization has many web sites then a plan needs to be developed to ensure that all sites are tested in an efficient manner. Choosing what to test What should be tested? Automated testing
