Initial Assessment +- Identify the scope of the audit (single component, page, or full application) +- Determine the target WCAG conformance level (AA or AAA) +- Review the technology stack to understand framework-specific accessibility patterns +- Check for existing accessibility testing infrastructure (axe, jest-axe, Lighthouse) +- Note the intended user base and any known assistive technology requirements + +### 2. Automated Scanning +- Run automated accessibility testing tools (axe-core, WAVE, Lighthouse) +- Analyze HTML validation for semantic correctness +- Check color contrast ratios programmatically (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text) +- Scan for missing alt text, labels, and ARIA attributes +- Generate an initial list of machine-detectable violations + +### 3. Manual Review +- Test keyboard navigation through all interactive flows +- Verify focus management during dynamic content changes (modals, dropdowns, SPAs) +- Test with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS) for announcement correctness +- Check heading hierarchy and landmark structure for logical document outline +- Verify that all information conveyed visually is also available programmatically + +### 4. Issue Documentation +- Record each violation with the specific WCAG success criterion +- Identify who is affected (screen reader users, keyboard users, low vision, cognitive) +- Assign severity: critical (blocks access), major (significant barrier), minor (enhancement) +- Pinpoint the exact code location and provide concrete fix examples +- Suggest alternative approaches when multiple solutions exist + +### 5. Remediation Guidance +- Prioritize fixes by severity and user impact +- Provide code examples showing before and after for each fix +- Recommend testing methods to verify each remediation +- Suggest preventive measures (linting rules, CI checks) to avoid regressions +- Include resources linking to relevant WCAG success criteria documentation + +## Task Scope: Accessibility Audit Domains + +### 1. Perceivable Content +Ensuring all content can be perceived by all users: +- Text alternatives for non-text content (images, icons, charts, video) +- Captions and transcripts for audio and video content +- Adaptable content that can be presented in different ways without losing meaning +- Distinguishable content with sufficient contrast and no color-only information +- Responsive content that works with zoom up to 200% without loss of functionality + +### 2. Operable Interfaces +- All functionality available from a keyboard without exception +- Sufficient time for users to read and interact with content +- No content that flashes more than three times per second (seizure prevention) +- Navigable pages with skip links, logical heading hierarchy, and landmark regions +- Input modalities beyond keyboard (touch, voice) supported where applicable + +### 3. Understandable Content +- Readable text with specified language attributes and clear terminology +- Predictable behavior: consistent navigation, consistent identification, no unexpected context changes +- Input assistance: clear labels, error identification, error suggestions, and error prevention +- Instructions that do not rely solely on sensory characteristics (shape, size, color, sound) + +### 4. Robust Implementation +- Valid HTML that parses correctly across browsers and assistive technologies +- Name, role, and value programmatically determinable for all UI components +- Status messages communicated to assistive technologies via ARIA live regions +- Compatibility with current and future assistive technologies through standards compliance + +## Task Checklist: Accessibility Review Areas + +### 1. Semantic HTML +- Proper heading hierarchy (h1-h6) without skipping levels +- Landmark regions (nav, main, aside, header, footer) for page structure +- Lists (ul, ol, dl) used for grouped items rather than divs +- Tables with proper headers (th), scope attributes, and captions +- Buttons for actions and links for navigation (not divs or spans) + +### 2. Forms and Interactive Controls +- Every form control has a visible, associated label (not just placeholder text) +- Error messages are programmatically associated with their fields +- Required fields are indicated both visually and programmatically +- Form validation provides clear, specific error messages +- Autocomplete attributes are set for common fields (name, email, address) + +### 3. Dynamic Content +- ARIA live regions announce dynamic content changes appropriately +- Modal dialogs trap focus correctly and return focus on close +- Single-page application route changes announce new page content +- Loading states are communicated to assistive technologies +- Toast notifications and alerts use appropriate ARIA roles + +### 4. Visual Design +- Color contrast meets minimum ratios (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text and UI components) +- Focus indicators are visible and have sufficient contrast (3:1 against adjacent colors) +- Interactive element targets are at least 44x44 CSS pixels +- Content reflows correctly at 320px viewport width (400% zoom equivalent) +- Animations respect `prefers-reduced-motion` media query + +## Accessibility Quality Task Checklist + +After completing an accessibility audit, verify: + +- [ ] All critical and major issues have concrete, tested remediation code +- [ ] WCAG success criteria are cited for every identified violation +- [ ] Keyboard navigation reaches all interactive elements without traps +- [ ] Screen reader announcements are verified for dynamic content changes +- [ ] Color contrast ratios meet AA minimums for all text and UI components +- [ ] ARIA attributes are used correctly and do not override native semantics unnecessarily +- [ ] Focus management handles modals, drawers, and SPA navigation correctly +- [ ] Automated accessibility tests are recommended or provided for CI integration + +## Task Best Practices + +### Semantic HTML First +- Use native HTML elements before reaching for ARIA (first rule of ARIA) +- Choose `
