Keeping Humans at the Center of Digital Accessiblity
The digital landscape is shifting faster than ever. If you’re a technology leader, you’re under constant pressure to ship features, stay ahead of the competition, and, ideally, ensure your products are accessible to everyone.
Automated accessibility testing tools have overtaken the market, promising to streamline compliance and catch issues early. But as these tools become more sophisticated, a critical question emerges: How much accessibility testing should you automate, and where do you still need human analysis?
Despite the recent progress in accessibility testing and the rise of regulation enforcement, a staggering 94.8% of homepages still have detectable WCAG 2 failures in 2025. Automation is powerful, but it’s not delivering widespread solutions that disabled users deserve.
The real challenge is finding the right balance of leveraging automation for speed and coverage, while relying on manual testing for depth of consideration and real-world accuracy. This guide will help get you there.
