I will share the processes involved, the tasks I complete, and what I look for to ensure that all our products and services are meeting accessibility needs as part of our promise as a business.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Defining the scope of work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When I am assigned a Sage product to audit, I set up a meeting with stakeholders to discuss several pieces of criteria. The first is what they know about accessibility, and why it is important to Sage. I then brief the stakeholders on the current WCAG guidelines (2.1 AA).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">These are guidelines that we have also used to create our own internal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-gb\/blog\/accessible-design-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">accessibility checklist <\/a>which our product design and development teams use to create experiences for our customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;We then work collaboratively to define the scope of the audit. This might be a strategic path to navigate through the system or a full audit of every page and component.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Some of the questions I will ask stakeholders might include:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How many environments do I need to target? For example, do we need to consider a Windows based PC only, or a Mac running MacOS?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Do I need to consider devices and test on tablets, both Android and iOS, or mobile phone?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Which browsers should I test, or which assistive tech do they want to test with? For example, PC, NVDA and Firefox, or PC, JAWS, Chrome, or VoiceOver and Safari.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Where will I be running the audit? Will it be in a specific test environment, or will it be in a pre-production environment?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It is important to have a defined scope because the audit will produce actionable results. I then brief the stakeholders on the types of tests I will be running and why it is important to run both automated and manual types of tests.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Automated test tools will only uncover approximately 40% of your accessibility issues &#8211; the other 60% are found by a combination of manual tests.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Product walkthroughs\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once the scope of work is defined and signed off, I then move onto the next stage of the audit which carrying out a walkthrough of the product.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Wherever possible I ask the demonstrator if I can record the session so I can refer to it when I\u2019m conducting the actual bulk of the audit. I will then make notes and ask any additional questions.&nbsp; In these sessions I note down the critical paths a user may take when using the product that I am auditing, which helps form the basic outline of my report.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once my user credentials are set up, I check I can login successfully to the environment, and then note the date so I can add this to my report. It\u2019s beneficial to know the dates you have conducted audits, as these provide a snapshot in time for which you can use to compare your base line results.\u00a0 For example, you may carry out the first audit of a product, followed by another audit 3-6 months later. During that period, you should see improvements made and the bug count decrease.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Carrying out audits\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is where the fun begins. I test the product for as many accessibility bugs as possible with an audit. This sometimes also includes functional bugs masquerading as accessibility bugs. When I find a bug, I will either export the error or take a screen shot to add it into my report, depending on the type of test I\u2019m running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once all the testing is complete, I collate all my results, categorise the errors found, and report back my findings to the stakeholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I love my job and love the fact Sage has given me the opportunity to embrace my passion to make Sage products both internally and externally accessible to everyone.&nbsp; We have a journey ahead of us but by working together with everyone within the Sage family, I know we will succeed. After all, accessibility is for everyone.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Find out more about what we\u2019re doing at Sage to ensure that our goals are met to make products and services accessible by 2025.
