How we tested the Apply System
A selection of sample pages of the Apply System were audited. The pages were selected to try and mimic students use of the application system. The user journey covered key areas including navigation, form field completion, interactions and error recovery.
Sample pages included in the manual and automated review supported by evaluation tools were as follows:
- Landing and Login Page
- Change Password Page
- Registration Page
- Course Page
- Personal Details Page
- Qualifications Page
- Funding Page
- Declaration Page
- Dashboard
- Accept Offer Page
Audit Process
The internal audit on sample pages have been subjected to the following process:
- A manual review supported by Accessibility tools.
- A manual Review using NVDA and VoiceOver Screen Readers examining areas of navigation, interaction, time limits and error recovery.
Why we tested like this
The audit process was conducted by our internal usability specialist, as we do not have a dedicated accessibility resource. This approach was decided upon based on the size of the website, time, resources and funding the organization had available at the time.
