MY TALKS
Accessibility Testing with Chrome Dev Tools
Software Engineering, General, UX / UI, Frontend, Diversity and Inclusion



Did you know you can use the Chrome DevTools to test whether your website is build in an accessible way? If not, let's explore together. In this session, we will explore how we can best use DevTools to our advantage in accessibility testing, discuss what to test for and why and how to incorporate both automated and manual testing in your development cycles.
Chrome DevTools offer a variety of options for accessibility testing, including simulations for visual impairments, checking for accessibility labels, color contrast and insights into the accessibility tree. We will discuss these techniques, as well as common sources of accessibility issues and how to approach them. We will also explore how to convince your team or manager to invest in accessibility testing and where to focus your attention if you have limited time & resources.
Let's make the web more accessible, one page at a time!

Hands on Web Accessibility: Making Real Impact
General, Software Engineering, Frontend, UX / UI, Women in Tech, Diversity and Inclusion



In a world increasingly reliant on digital platforms, ensuring accessibility isn't just a legal requirement—it's a moral imperative and a smart business move. But how do we bridge the gap between theory and practice? Join me in this session as we delve into the nitty-gritty of integrating web accessibility into real-life projects.
From inception to execution, I'll guide you through the practical process of weaving accessibility into your projects seamlessly. We'll explore strategies to win over stakeholders, garner support, and build a robust framework for accessibility. Drawing from real-life experiences, I'll share insights on auditing large projects, structuring the accessibility process, and identifying key players to involve.
But this isn't just about theory; it's about getting our hands dirty. Through practical examples and demonstrations, we'll learn what to test for, how to prioritize accessibility features, and how to implement changes effectively.
This session will equip you with the tools and know-how to make accessibility a tangible reality in your projects. Join me in making the web a more inclusive space, one project at a time.
