Software tester...
â UX design courses will help you diagnose and correct poor user interface design. Several colleges have courses in this topic.
â If the software will open document files (Word, PPT, PDF, Xslx, etc.) and the user will interact with them, then learn what makes a document accessible. In the PDF/UA standards, this is called "PDF Processor." Any full course on making accessible documents is good, but you won't learn enough in a short conference session nor in a crammed boot-camp. Look for a full course.
â If the software will create document files, same deal, but this is called "PDF Producer" in the standards. You'll need to study the PDF standards, ISO 32000 for basic PDF producing, and ISO 14289 for PDF/UA accessible PDFs.
â If it will process audio/video clips, then learn how various forms of captioning work. WGBH's introductory info is good, as well as webinars from 3Play Media.
â If it will process animations and 3D animations, then UX for user controls of animations. (Ha ha, I'm in the ISO committee meeting for PDF animation standards right now...the topic is on my mind!)
â And as a software tester myself, I've found it very helpful to study the SDKs (software development kits) for the various operating systems (both standard and mobile) and for the software program itself, if one is available.
