Complementing automated tools with manual accessibility testing

As we’ve seen in this chapter, automated tools are great at spotting straightforward issues such as missing alt text on images, low color contrast, or incorrect HTML attributes (for example, missing ARIA labels). Where they fall short is in areas that need human judgment. For instance, is the link text descriptive enough (Click here versus Learn more about our services)? Does the reading order make sense for someone using assistive technologies? Are interactive elements easy to use with just a keyboard?

Automated tools can also overlook problems in content that loads dynamically (such as JavaScript-driven interfaces) or in more complex interactions. That’s why manual testing is so important. It fills the gaps that automation can’t cover, especially when it comes to ensuring compatibility with screen readers.
