Thanks Gareth,

Yes, you are right about automated testing, but a mixture of both human and
automated is the best way to approach it.

The benefit of Accessibilidad Web is that you can test local sites. Often
when a site is being developed you don't want it available to the outside
world.

Cheers for the link,
Paul
