  3. Accessibility is not a feature; it’s about process, procedures and techniques. ~ Matt May, OZeWAI 2011

  4. “Intent – what am I trying to achieve?” ~ Raven Calais, AGIMO, OZeWAI 2011

  5. Who conducts accessibility audits at least once per month? • Who conducts user research at least monthly? • With PWD • With non-disabled users

  6. IntegratingCompliance & User Research Using WCAG 2 to inform user research strategy • Iteratively • Collaboratively

  7. What’s so different then…? The typical process with compliance audits Similar to conducting an ‘Expert review’ prior to UT

  8. What’s so different then…? • Witch Hunt: WCAG is used for compliance and project direction

  9. Step by step through process • Identify the primary user group for the site i.e. vision • Identify project team’s areas of concern (design/ dev) • Conduct compliance review, mindful of above • Report findings & commence remediation

  10. Step by step through process Using the findings of 1 and 2, develop user research plan (user group / focus) • Identify features and functionality to focus on in user testing • Develop tasks • Conduct testing with diverse audience • Including non-disabled tends to reinforce usability findings

  16. Strengths & Weaknesses

  17. Weaknesses • You need a reasonably skilled person/team to do compliance • Chance that WCAG will become focus and UT dropped

  18. Strengths • Provides focus and direction for task development • Where compliance with WCAG is important you get a head start • It’s an iterative approach • Especially good where you have not been involved in the design & dev
