Test the Third-Party Stuff Too: Why Accessibility Testing Must Include Vendor Solutions
Skipping accessibility testing on third-party tools because you can’t edit them leaves you blind to real barriers and real legal risk. Testing gives you the knowledge to keep, configure, escalate or replace a vendor product, and builds a good-faith record that protects your users and your business.
