  1. Inspect What You Expect:Testing & Implementation

  2. Ensuring Accessibility • Testing Tools • User Testing • Implement & Maintain

  3. Validity: Building to Code • HTML & XHTML Validation validator.w3.org/ • CSS Validation jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

  4. Accessibility Testing Tools • Accessibility/Web Standards Validators • Page by Page • Listening to Your Pages • JAWS / Fangs • Authoring Tools • Dreamweaver • Enterprise Accessibility Reports • LIFT & WebXM www.jimthatcher.com/testing.htm
