Accessibility Evaluation Method
Also known as: AEM, Accessibility Testing Method
A structured approach or procedure used to assess the accessibility of digital products, websites, or applications. Accessibility evaluation methods include conformance review (checking against standards like WCAG), barrier walkthrough (assessing barriers in context of specific user scenarios), user testing with people with disabilities, automated scanning, expert review, and subjective assessment. Different methods vary in their effectiveness, efficiency, reliability, and usefulness, and the choice of method can significantly impact the quality and completeness of the evaluation results. Combining multiple methods is generally recommended to achieve the most comprehensive assessment.
