Hi @thibaudcolas I will like to participate in the Accessibility audit testing. This will enable me to be able to gain further experience on Accessibility. Having read about the implementation of ATAG, it will be more exciting to be able to demonstrate some skills for a successful audit. |

Update 13-12-2023Spreadsheet with audit output (still WIP) Pages checked:Testing methods:
This audit hasn’t produced as many significant issues as the previous one due to ongoing accessibility improvements. There are still some things to consider, mostly regarding the new rules of best practices that go beyond WCAG. |

Hi all, I have updated our living accessibility audit with the results from Albina’s work. As we can see in the "Scope overview" tab, there are a lot of pages within the CMS that remain untested simply due to time constraints. Contributing to the auditFor anyone wanting to help with this, please:
As far as reporting the results of your testing, please make a copy of our spreadsheet like Albina did, then adding your findings there, and share the link to the sheet in this thread. Where to testWe use the https://static-wagtail-v5-2.netlify.app/admin/ website to do our testing for this audit. It’s a static copy of Wagtail, not a real site instance. This helps a lot in making sure we all test the same thing, but does mean not all functionality in the CMS is testable this way. What to testHere is a list of available views in our demo site, if you’re keen to help let us know here and I’ll keep track of who tests what in the one table :) |

👋 opening this for discussion of an upcoming WCAG audit of the admin. We’re looking for feedback / guidance / suggestions (or even just kind words of support!) on how we plan the audit, specifics of the testing, and how we share reports / tackle the issues.
Context
As part of our ATAG 2.0 audit, we succinctly reviewed the accessibility of the Wagtail admin. There were clear gaps so for WCAG conformance we focused on automated tests, and spent our manual testing budget on other ATAG criteria.
Now – we need to go back to WCAG auditing, and test the relevant parts of the admin more meaningfully.
Audit requirements
Standards
For Guideline A.1.1: of ATAG 2.0 – the audit should include all of WCAG 2.2 AA-level (Recommendation as of October 2023), and some of AAA-level guidelines as well as best practice recommendations as we see fit. We could also attempt to cover a few concepts from WCAG 3.0 (draft), such as color contrast. So the options are:
We could also possibly try to cover legal requirements from:
Scope
For ease of auditing and of reviewing / sharing audit results, I would like us to focus on features of the admin accessible via one of my static "snapshot" copies of Wagtail: https://static-wagtail-v5-2.netlify.app/admin/. This limits our possible scope but greatly simplifies having access to features and sharing links to specific parts of Wagtail when reporting issues.
From there have a lot of options for how we go about this. Here are the ones I could think of:
Reporting
We have a lot of options here:
Testing methodology
Essentially TBC, but I would like us to focus on manual testing, since we got lots of reports from automated tests already.
Semi-automated WCAG testing
Similar to past accessibility team reviews of Wagtail 3.0 and 4.0 via screenshots in Figma.
Manual WCAG testing
Across a representative sample of admin views,
