When testing the webpage/dashboard it needs to conform to accessibility standards, such as contrast and color combination. Hopefully HiS's colour palette is already color-combination-friendly but the use of different contrasts is on us, and needs to be tested. This can be done by using a contrast checker tool (like this one from WebAIM).

This is a high-level issue and should be applied to every front-end part.

It should also be added to the wiki as a part of the testing standards.

Once a frontend prototyp has been made, Google's Lighthouse might be of good use for this purpose.

Aceit Accessibility Evaluator is an accessibility testing tool that tests the website for requirements from WCAG and EN 301 549. It tests the website page by page, however it doesn't give much details about the potential issues and to properly use it we need a product key. We can also only check the publicly available adress and not any test builds

Siteimprove is an accessibility tool which tests the website if it complies with WCAG requirements. It also has a chrome extenstion, however it is a little unintuitive.

Good research! But we need do come to a conclusion about what to use and update the wiki accordingly.
This is related to our issue of creating our new designs #843

I have made the conclusion part a bit clearer now, if you think the conclusion is too short or not sufficient then i can update it again.

Currently no one is using any accessibility tool from what i know, so i think we should be using Wave but we aren't right now and it's too late to start now so i would say it's for the future and for next years students.
