Web Accessibility Heuristics
©Parimala Hariprasad Introduction A few days ago, long before the thought of this cheatsheet was born, I met a small girl who was standing very quiet in twenty-by-ten women’s parlour I frequent. Unusual quietness for a three year old, I must confess! As her mom got ready to leave, the little girl appeared to be looking for something on the sofa. There was absolutely nothing on the sofa except, for the sofa itself. She was confused. She was completely blind in both her eyes. My heart sank! I wanted to help the little child by holding her hand and showing the way out the door, but how far would I go with her? Only as far as the door! Beyond that little door, the little girl had to figure out about the world all by herself, whether she saw it or not! I felt like dust of the earth as she carefully walked out of that parlour taking the help of whatever it takes in that little room. This e-book is dedicated to all those differently-abled people who are figuring out how to lead a normal life irrespective of what life has given them. God bless! http://curioustester.blogspot.com Page 3

Web Accessibility Heuristics
©Parimala Hariprasad Web Accessibility Web Accessibility is the ‘Ility’ of making web pages easier to navigate and read for people with different disabilities. As technology advances, differently-abled people have access to varying technologies and devices to make their life better. Ironically, software and devices built today are pretty hostile to this group of people. For the determination this user group is particularly known for, they have stopped taking things lying down. They are challenging organizations to build software that takes their needs more seriously than ever. Few organizations are indeed working tirelessly on building accessibility into their softwares. This cheatsheet is a small attempt towards testing for accessibility in the Web World. It is tinkered with basic ideas to look for while testing for accessibility, yet robust enough to put software developers (programmers, testers, others) in the right direction for developing accessible software. Atul Gawande, well known author of the book, “The Checklist Manifesto” summarizes what I want to achieve through this cheatsheet. “You want people to make sure to get the stupid stuff right. Yet you also want to leave room for craft and judgment and the ability to respond to unexpected difficulties that arise along the way.” I hope this cheatsheet will do exactly this while you embark on a journey in web accessibility testing. Happy Testing! Parimala Hariprasad http://curioustester.blogspot.com Page 4
