Now you try!

Test your Department's existing public data visuals and dashboards.

Test the keyboard navigation

• Are you able to get into your public dashboard using a keyboard?

• Would a user know the keyboard strokes (are they standard strokes)?

• Is the tab order correct? (the order you move from one visual to the next)

• If you used a keyboard and not a mouse, could you get all the same information and functionality?

Test your dashboards with a screen reader

• Install a screen reader. If you use google chrome, you can easily install ChromeVox. If you are using Windows 10 you can use the built in Narrator application.

• Using your keyboard with the screen reader, can you get all the same information and functionality a sighted user has access to?

Test your dashboards on your phone

• Can you read the data and understand the key trends?

• Can you interact with the dashboard easily?

• Are any filters, buttons, or graphs too tiny to read or press?
