Guidelines and User Testing – Let’s Talk About Food Instead!
Everybody loves a good analogy and surprise surprise I’m no different! I want to revisit an issue that I’m sure has been raised numerous times before – the differences between guidelines and user testing and the benefits of each. Now feels like an important time to talk about this again given the imminent release of the next version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). At the recent Accessibility 2.0 conference held by AbilityNet, there was also some talk of how useful guidelines actually were compared to user testing, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to put my opinion out there.
So, with all that in mind, let’s talk about food instead!
