When it helps

Combine quick checks, human testing and an evaluation method suited to the service.

How to start

Select a method matching the question: initial checks, detailed evaluation or user involvement. Define pages, tasks and assistive technologies before interpreting results.

Limits to keep in mind

An automated check or user session alone does not prove whole-service conformance. Results must remain tied to their scope.

Check before using

Three points to record with the decision.

  1. 01

    Scope of pages and components examined.

  2. 02

    Human checks alongside automated tools.

  3. 03

    Criteria, method and report limitations.

A method and complementary resources.
