The Web Accessibility Project Development and Testing Best Practices

The Web Accessibility Project Development and Testing Best Practices

Approximately 15% of the global population is affected by some sort of disability according to the World Report on Disability. Many C-Suite executives perceive digital accessibility (DA) as an endless task. Among the engineering leaders one in four leaders are reliant on very limited knowledge about digital accessibility. Many countries are increasing their legislative efforts to make web accessibility an important part in web development and testing of software releases. Numerous organizations are facing extreme turbulence when not adhering to international accessibility guidelines while developing their software’s and website applications. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is a global guide on accessibility recommendations that are developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to help organizations to meet minimum standard accessibility guidelines. It has become critical for every organization to focus on implementing the accessibility checks at every stage of their application development to avoid costly mistakes. Meanwhile the need for front-end engineers and Quality Assurance (QA) test analysts to learn WCAG best practices is immensely important for the growing need to incorporate accessibility-focused inclusive design development and extensive accessibility testing which are essential for most of the customer-facing websites. In a fast-paced world incorporating shift left accessibility within development and testing is the new normal. The Web Accessibility Project: Development and Testing Best Practices helps developers address right accessibility attributes to user interface (UI) components. It also helps developers focus on developing manual and automation tests for QA professionals to inject accessibility audit accessibility functional tests and accessibility automation tests as part of their Continuous Integration and Continuous Development (CI/CD) models. The book is filled with readily usable best practices to adapt web accessibility early in application development. By applying the accessibility best practices covered in this book developers can help their organizations rise to a whole new level of accessibility adherence innovation and inclusive design.

If you want to be part of this change you need to understand all about the messy middle that Leda so expertly describes in this book. If you read this book and it doesn’t resonate then I suggest you think about stepping aside. — Curt Queyrouze President Coastal Community Bank The world is going digital and so is banking—in fits starts and circles. Why is it so hard? Why is the industry constantly getting in the way of its own technological progress and what can we do about it all? This book looks at the human and structural obstacles to innovation-driven transformation and at the change in habits mindsets and leadership needed for the next stage of the digital journey and argues that this change will be brought about not by external heroes and saviours not by a generation yet to be born but people just like us. People who understand the industry and its quirks. Bankers who have the grit determination and energy to drive change. Bankers like us. This book celebrates and chronicles the shared experience of bankers like us. It starts with a ‘this is who we are’ piece including the author’s trench credentials.

The Business Value of Software

The Business Value of Software

In business driving value is a key strategy and typically starts at the top of an organization. In today’s digital age driving software value is also an important and often overlooked key strategy. Executives and the corporate board need to expect the highest level of business value from the software the organization is developing buying and selling. In today’s digital transformation marketplace it is imperative that organizations start driving business value from software development initiatives. For many years the cost of software development challenged organizations with questions such as: How do we allocate software development costs?Should these costs be considered an overhead expense?Are we getting the most value possible for our investment? A fundamental problem has been built into these questions – the focus on cost. In almost every other part of the organization maximizing profit or in the case of a not-for-profit maximizing the funds available provides a clear focus with metrics to determine success or failure. In theory simply aligning software spending with the maximizing profit goals should be sufficient to avoid any questions about value for money. Unfortunately this alignment hasn’t turned out to be so simple and the questions persist particularly at the strategic or application portfolio level. In this book Michael D. S. Harris describes how a software business value culture—one where all stakeholders including technology and business—have a clear understanding of the goals and expected business value from software development. The book shows readers how they can transform software development from a cost or profit center to a business value center. Only a culture of software as a value center enables an organization to constantly maximize business value flow through software development. If your organization is starting to ask how it can change software from a cost-center to a value-center this book is for you. | The Business Value of Software

A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms

A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms

The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced many businesses to accelerate their digital transformation strategies to continue to meet the changing needs of their customers. This has resulted in significant growth in the global software market. However for decades managing software product quality has been a major challenge for many software development firms. This low success rate is due mainly to the development and delivery of low-quality software products. In addition to the direct costs associated with poor-quality software software flaws can also raisesecurity concerns as hackers can gain complete control of various devices and data such as mobile phones computers or the operational transactions of businesses. These security and privacy breaches are currently occurring with great frequency. Although producers and consumers of software products spend vast amounts of money developing and purchasing these products in many cases the promised benefits of user satisfaction efficiency productivity and profitability are not realized. In more severe circumstances software development firms have failed and face the threat of going bankrupt being acquired or suffering closure because customers are demanding high-quality software products that they consistently fail to deliver. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating within the software development industry have a more critical need to produce high-quality software since they are less able to absorb both the cost and the reputational impact of producing low-quality output. A Software Development Approach for Driving Competitiveness in Small Firms provides some cost-efficient options that can help SMEs increase the likelihood that their software will be of high quality. It tells the story of the entrepreneurial journey that small firms should take to deliver high-quality software products. By utilizing practical examples and providing several recommended solutions to decrease the likelihood of producing low-quality software the book outlines how mobilizing people processes and technology are integral to the software development process and emphasizes why process maturity is the most influential factor in software development in small and medium enterprises.
