Accessibility: Panning for gold
In Accessibility: Panning for gold, Andy Clarke shares his thoughts on accessibility and the use of automated checking tools.
I agree with him to a large extent. Tools like Bobby are helpful to get a general idea of a site’s accessibility, but they are not a substitute for knowledge and manual testing. For that reason, among others, I never put Bobby or AAA badges on the sites I build.
