"There are currently three different options available to you when testing a website for accessibility:
* Accessibility audit - An accessibility expert reviews your site, highlighting any accessibility issue
* Accessibility testing - Real disabled users complete common tasks on your website whilst a moderator notes all problems they experience
* Automated accessibility testing - An automated program evaluates your website against accessibility guidelines"
Webcredible looks at the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
