Fixing automated testing issues means fewer issues during manual testing. But, automated testing can’t find every problem, which is why we need to manually test. Learn how to keyboard, screen reader, and zoom test in our article #A11y #AccessibilityFocus blog.pope.tech/2023/03/01/a-…

@WebAIM's WAVE extension has been updated to include a new Order tab. Use it to make sure your page's tab order makes sense, there aren't any non-interactive elements in your tab order, and check the accessible name for each navigable element. #A11y blog.pope.tech/2022/12/02/wa…
The WAVE extension Order tab includes two links at the top that are Refresh Navigation Order and Show WAVE Icons. Followed by text that reads: Order, role, and accessible name (what is read by a screen reader) for all navigable page elements are listed. Elements that do not have a function should not be listed. Below this text is a list of navigable elements for the imls.gov webpage.
