Beginner

October 8, 2026 at 05:00 UTC

Accessibility is often treated as a set of guidelines or checks at the end of a project. But without clear, testable requirements, teams are left guessing what “accessible” actually means in practice.

This session introduces accessibility acceptance criteria as a practical way to turn guidance into something teams can design, build, and test against with confidence. We’ll explore what accessibility acceptance criteria are, where they can be used across the product lifecycle, and how they support consistency across roles.

You’ll learn how to apply acceptance criteria at two key levels: component level and page or user-flow level. Through real examples, we’ll look at how to write robust, testable requirements that reduce ambiguity and help teams deliver more reliable, accessible outcomes.
