Screen reader testing

Move beyond trivial screen reader testing and instead test an entire workflow. Can a user navigate and traverse several workflows to complete a task?

7 tests in total with the first 4 navigational waypoints, followed by 3 tests interacting with elements as part of the workflow.

Orientation and waypoint finding

  1. Does the screen reader output matches the visual output of all headings
  2. Does the screen reader output matches the visual output of all links (as a minimum)
  3. Does the screen reader output matches the visual output of all list elements
  4. Does the screen reader output the first 2 rows of a table and announces the columns

User actions and workflow traversal

  1. Does the screen reader output every visual error message
  2. Does the screen reader output all significant page activity (spinner icons appearing, new page content)
  3. Does the screen reader output a controls outcome (collapsed/expanded, x number of items returned)
