👊30 Days of Accessibility Testing Challenge


Day1# 30 Day of Accessibility Testing
Learn about the diversity of disabilities and the effects of aging
Disabilities are of numerous kinds. A brief glance at disabilities includes but not limited to the following.
Autism is widely viewed as an “epidemic” and tragedy for the family. It is complicated and is tricky to diagnose before a child reaches 24 months. The range of abilities, skills, brilliance, and need is so different for each child on the spectrum. 
Some children may experience sensitivity to sensory information such as colors which can cause anxiety or pain.
 
High contrast helps many people to read and understand content, but some people with dyslexia, for example, suffer from contrast sensitivity meaning that black text on a white background is not necessarily the best solution.
Aging brings prominent effects on the body.  Many older people have age-related impairments that can affect how they use the web, such as declining:
vision — including reduced contrast sensitivity, colour perception, and near-focus, making it difficult to read web pages
cognitive ability — including reduced short-term memory, difficulty in concentrating, and being easily distracted, making it difficult to follow navigation and completing online tasks.

 Day 30 # Review the complexity of a website's content with the Hemingway app  The Hemingway app is a popular free writing tool created by Adam and Ben Long. Hemingway Editor helps you to edit your writing so that your words are clear and powerful. The app checks your words and sentences which point out areas you can change to make your writing better. Hemingway Editor is easy to blogs, posts, business communication, fiction, essays, or academic papers. It is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find the passive voice and overused adverbs in your texts to make them easier to read.  There is a desktop version of the Hemingway Editor available for Mac and PC, which is quite cheap. But most users will prefer to use the free online writing editor. Hemingway Editor is simple to use.  First, copy your text.  Then go to https://www.hemingwayapp.com and delete the example text.  Paste your text into it and edit the highlighted things in your writing.  Everything is color-coded.

 Day21 #  looking for invisible keyboard focus when tabbing through a page. I logged in twitter and started tabbing on the twitter page which is navigating on each tab on-page content. Tab-Usability Guidelines Here are 12 design guidelines for using tabs: 1. Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place. 2. Logically chunk the content behind the tabs so users can easily predict what they'll find when they select a given tab. 3. Use tabs only when users don't need to see content from multiple tabs simultaneously. 4. Design tabs that are parallel in nature. If the tabs are significantly dissimilar, users will interpret them as site navigation. 5. Highlight the currently selected tab. Make sure that the highlighting is prominent enough so people can tell which tab is selected. 6. The un
