Predicting Digital Accessibility Through a Self-Assessment Test of Process Traits.

Abstract

We have developed an 11-question self-assessment test that predicts whether a team is likely to develop accessible digital solutions - or not - based on the characteristics of the development processes. Our results indicate the test can predict both successes and failures with regards to accessibility of digital solutions. As such, teams and product leaders now have an easy way to identify whether the team's knowledge, practices and mindset makes them likely to deliver accessible digital solutions. Further, the test identify which changes are needed for the team to better ensure digital accessibility.
