Project Description: As per Microsoft’s vision to make all Microsoft’s application/software and services accessible for everyone including people with disabilities; this project involved accessibility testing for over 100 + ASG and C& E Microsoft products. Assistive Technologies used for Accessibility Testing are most popular screen readers; programmatic tools, Microsoft developed internal automation tools and third party external tools for browser accessibility testing.

The goal is to make all Microsoft Product section 508 compliant which is accessibility conformance standard defined for web based and software applications.

Responsibilities:

Lead Role: Attend requirements and walkthrough meetings with client/customer, work with the team on planning and execution of deliverable with timeline, provide timely update to client on progress and present the final completion report along with bug statistics. Attend weekly meeting with customer to continuously update on progress and compliance and discuss open issues and action items and provide progress report.

Successfully owned and executed accessibility testing for various Microsoft ASG and C&E products (Desktop, Web, Mobile, Server) and reported health of the product to MS management in terms of accessibility. Applied Section 508 (Trusted Tester), WCAG 2.0 standards and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) concepts and learnings to test Microsoft products for Accessibility.

Excelled in various Accessibility tools such as screen-readers (JAWS, Narrator, NVDA, Voice Over, Talkback), programmatic access tools (Inspect, Acc-event), Web Browser Accessibility Tools (WAT), MS Internal Browser Automation Tool for Accessibility (Keros).

Trained on-site and offshore team (India) on Inspect, JAWS, WAT and Narrator. Also trained them on HTML to UIA (User Interface Accessibility) to ARIA (Accessibility Rich Internet Applications) property mappings and vice-versa as all modern web based applications are written in ARIA for accessibility.

Introduced new and effective processes to streamline product team onboarding/walkthrough, and report generation (bug report, status report, resource allocation) to provide systematic approach in E2E accessibility process and clear visibility to upper management on various key statistics (bug data, progress made, blockers, etc.).

Mentored and groomed execution team by providing in-depth knowledge for conformance bugs found by programmatic tools and usability bugs found by screen readers. As a result, the bugs reported by execution team were superior quality and made good impact on customers.

Other core responsibilities involved meeting with customers (MS), understanding requirements, defining scope for testing, coming up with test plan & scenarios with complete schedule and list of AT (assistive technologies), locking down the test plan with customers, communicating the locked down plan to execution team, actively participating and monitoring the execution for timely delivery, generating weekly test/status reports for customers to indicate weekly progress and sending final report upon test execution completion.
