Start thinking about the technical testing

Consider accessibility at each stage. You can find GDS access user profiles.

Start thinking about the technical accessibility of Alpha. When discussing ideas and developing concepts, consider:

If what you think meets WCAG design principles
How people with visual impairment, hearing, movement, memory or thought can use it
You should perform regular tests once you start writing production code. Once your service goes into the public beta, run tests every time you add a new functionality.

When working on basic forms, you don't have to worry about access to your code. But it's helpful to check that things like the color variations you use are accessible.

Working in this way can help you identify and resolve problems early. Removing and repairing them at a later stage is much more expensive.

On your mobile device, open Bitrise.io and apply it from the control panel. Select artwork tab and download apk. To try this apk, you must configure your device to allow apps from unknown sources. Manual tests will save a lot of time because you will know if you have any errors.
