Fedora Test Days provide a structured, collaborative environment where contributors and users can test new versions before they are released. Accessibility (a11y) should be a key attribute of each modern SW Project. That is why there has been a separate set of tests for accessibility as part of test days since 2024. Now this set was expanded to cover even wider functionality in the area of desktop accessibility for users.
The talk will explain how a11y testing is conducted during Fedora Test Days. We will also highlight workflows, tools, and best practices used to identify accessibility regressions and usability barriers. The role of assistive technologies, real-world user testing, and collaboration between developers, QA contributors, and users with disabilities is also important.
Our goal is to encourage broader participation in accessibility testing during Fedora Test Days. We hope this will help Fedora to deliver an inclusive, accessible open-source operating system.
