In this talk, Sam, Accessibility Evangelist at Fable, talks about why testing with people with disabilities is so important, and describe what Fable is doing in order to make this testing quicker, easier, and more effective.
He provides tips, tricks, and advice based on his life-long experience as a screen reader user and testing participant, as well as the expertise Fable has gained from conducting thousands of hours of user testing with assistive technology.
Using practical examples of websites and companies, Sam describes how user testing methods have enabled them to create more accessible, more inclusive, and higher quality experiences for everyone.
