Abstract:
This work presents a new methodology for designing user tests that evaluate the impact of different Web accessibility barriers affecting people with disabilities. The methodology is based on several steps that help in the creation of Web content to be tested by users with specific disabilities. Several user tests have been carried out to check the validity of the steps defined in the methodology. The paper includes the methodology used, a case study and the key findings of the analysis. The results of the case study have been positive as the objective of providing a methodology has facilitated the creation of an evaluation environment: selection of the elements to be evaluated and the tasks to be performed by users who carried out the test. As a conclusion, we can state that the introduced methodology helps to include elements in user tests and optimizes the time and available resources needed for the preparation of an accessibility test
