Accessibility & Compatibility Testing

Teams create better software when quality activities are deliberate, explainable and proportionate to risk. Accessibility & Compatibility Testing helps participants evaluate whether digital experiences remain usable across assistive technologies, browsers, devices, input methods and user contexts through a progression covering accessibility, compatibility and inclusive quality risk, wcag 2.2 structure and keyboard access, focus order and visible focus. Participants apply WCAG 2.2 principles, perform keyboard and screen-reader-informed checks, review semantic structure, test responsive and browser variations and separate automated findings from human evaluation. Each exercise asks learners to interpret evidence, refine their approach and communicate findings in language that technical and non-technical stakeholders can use. They produce prioritised evidence that connects technical defects with real barriers rather than treating accessibility as a scanner score.
