#ID24 @cyns: Starbux has a UX researcher?
#ID24 @cyns: Starbux did 52 usability studies in three days!
#ID24 @cyns: Coffee may be trivial. Independence isn’t.
#ID24 @cyns: For me, coffee is definitely not trivial. Almost as important as independence. 🙂
#ID24 @cyns: When planning usability/accessibility studies, consider how much time the test will take. Respect people’s time.
#ID24 @cyns: If possible, test in real situations. Consider environment.
#ID24 @cyns: If usability/a11y testers don’t have an account with your service, test features that don’t require login.
#ID24 @cyns: When developing tests, matricies of requirements can be very useful.
#ID24 @cyns: Session scripts help test moderators remember everything and ensure all tasks are completed. Help with repeatability.
#ID24 @cyns: Make sure you have a backup of any surveys or forms in case wifi sucks.
#ID24 @cyns: Product as SWAG! Yay!
#ID24 @cyns: It is totally OK to use food to lure in usability/accessibility testers. 🙂
#ID24 @cyns: Analyze features one at a time, elevate general info.
#ID24 @cyns: When sharing results, keep test goals in mind.
#ID24 @cyns: If you can’t record testers, record yourself trying to recreate their results.
#ID24 @cyns: Teach teams what testers look for/listen for so they can test when there aren’t users.
#ID24 @cyns: Prioritize bugs you or your testers find.
#ID24 @cyns: After testing sessions, reflect on what worked and what didn’t.
#ID24 @cyns: Share experiences from testers directly with the teams working on product and not just stake holders. Ensures things get fixed.
#ID24 @cyns: Being able to do things like buy coffee or perform a technical task by yourself really, really matters.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Accessibility is a civil right because inclusion, participation, and equality.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Accessibility is a civil right because without it, discrimination happens.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Accessibility is a civil right because it underpins integration.
#ID24 @LFLegal: We don’t have specific web regs yet. But web requires inclusion and participation and those are already covered by law.
#ID24 @LFLegal: In the U.S., states also have their own laws.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Next level above accessibility foundation provided by law is strategy implemented by advocates.
#ID24 @LFLegal: When you limit the law, you limit all possible accessibility strategies, not just lawsuits.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Good news: Current admin can’t just tear down what previous DOJ has done. Not in the next 3/half years.
#ID24 @LFLegal: People are afraid of lawsuits, but lawsuits have ensured that people with disabilities are able to vote.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Accessibility is a civil right because it allows people with disabilities to enjoy privacy through independence.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Law is an important tool. But accessibility is better when the coordinator is not in the law or risk management offices.
#ID24 @LFLegal: People with disabilities don’t want to use lawsuits. We’d rather accessibility be seamless.
#ID24 @LFLegal: If you end up with a demand letter, interview lawyers before you pick one.
#ID24 @LFLegal: The best defense when it comes to lawsuits is to be proactive.
#ID24 @LFLegal: Publicize your accessibility commitments. Show the work you’re doing.
