Accessibility & Agility for QA

An overview on accessibility including: understanding what a11y is, how it impacts software development, how to ensure that it's smoothly implemented & verified, and techniques for ensuring compliance. Additionally, we’ll look at the benefits of these processes that go beyond just allowing individuals who require them to use the software, but how developers, other end-users, and the software ecosystem as a whole are improved by it.
