Website Accessibility Test Plan

An accessibility test plan turns broad guidance into checks against the pages and workflows customers actually use. Automated scans are useful, but they cannot verify every label, focus transition, reading order, or confusing instruction.

Requirements and legal exposure can vary, so use qualified advice when the business needs a formal compliance assessment.

Choose representative journeys

Test homepage navigation, service pages, search, forms, booking, account access, inventory, payments, documents, and error recovery. Include desktop, mobile, keyboard, and assistive technology where possible.

Check structure and content

Review headings, landmarks, link names, image alternatives, table headers, captions, language, reading order, page titles, and instructions. Make sure the content remains understandable without visual styling.

Test interaction states

Verify focus visibility, keyboard operation, dialogs, menus, filters, date pickers, validation, error recovery, status messages, motion, timeout, and touch target behavior.

The remediation checklist and dealership checklist cover specialized paths.

Record findings usefully

Capture URL, task, user impact, steps, evidence, severity, owner, fix, retest result, and related component. Prioritize blockers in high-value workflows.

Retest after changes

Run the plan after a redesign, component update, form change, content migration, new third-party widget, or platform release. Keep the test plan with the delivery process.
