Re: accessibility without testing?

I would argue that it is always best to test it. Even if you find a
program that can automate the process it can never replace field
testing. In part, testing the site first helps one to determine if
wording, I.E. bad or confusing phrases, and order are appropriate,
something an automated tool can never do. I would use tools to assist
in the process but still test it to make sure.
