Afternoon
Workshop | ToDo: Test Driven Development and Accessibility
2.2 Room | Floor 2
When we talk about frontend development and particularly testing web interfaces, the question of "when should we test for accessibility (a11y) in your apps" often arises.
My answer to that is quite simple - we should do it right from the start!
How? By adopting Test Driven Development (TDD) and integrating your favorite testing framework with some a11y power-ups.
This workshop guides us through the creation of a _simple_ ToDo app and the challenges faced during its development.
Recommended to bring you own laptop.
