RE: how to create accessibility test cases?

In addition to running through the general accessibility checklists, 508 and/or WCAG, I recommend developing use/case scenarios and testing those through all of the platforms where the application is intended to run. This should include using a variety of assistive technologies. For internal applications here at DARS we have a closed set of assistive technologies that are standard throughout the agency, but for external applications things get a bit trickier. Typical platforms should include screen readers, screen magnifiers (the issues are different with the two), keyboard only operation without a screen reader, and speech to text interfaces.
