Re: Accesslibity review_time estimate

Something else to think about, concerning time estimations, is how the client expects you to present the data you find during your review. Is the client fine with receiving a big numbered list of issues from each page, or do they want a full report with extended details and suggested code techniques to fix the issues?

Oh, and also, do they want quality assurance feedback such as spelling and grammar? Sometimes a site can be very accessible and usable but the usability and trustworthiness of the site and its content can dip when care isn't taken when writing the content. QA analysis can be a real time sink as you are doing reviews, if you are sensitive to that sort of thing.

So much to think about!

Best,
David

It will obviously depend on how many individual samples you've split the assessment into, and how complex those samples are. If all they are is static, reasonably straightforward content pages, then you would generally be able to go through and test a few (3, 4, possibly more if they're really short) in a day. On the other end of the spectrum, you may have samples that are exceedingly complex ... like a whole interactive Excel-like grid which also generates interactive explorable graphs etc...at which point it may take you a few days just to verify an individual sample (or split it into smaller, more manageable chunks).

So whichever formula you arrive at, it will likely involve number of samples and complexity of individual samples.
