For the keyboard focus indicator, you should know that all browsers have some sort of indicator built in, which is usually an 1 pixel black dotted outline. A person who is blind could skim through the CSS to see if anything is removing that rule, though I know it wouldn't be a fun task.

Hi Team,

I would like to know the methodologies totally blind accessibility auditors follow to test the low vision criterias.
As there are number of tools for color contrast, I mainly would like to know how do you tackle:
1. Keyboard focus indicator.
2. Zoom (200%) does not break the visibility of the content.
3. High contrast does not break particular elements.

I usually get these test cases tested by my sighted counter parts.


Thanks & Regards,
