The importance of automated testing to check for other accessibility violations
Other accessibility missteps may occur while creating digital content that we haven't touched on yet in this notion.

Automated testing for other accessibility issues can take on many forms. The tools in this grain focus on:
- showcasing how your digital project runs when connectivity is poor, which gives you a better idea of how socio-economically disadvantaged users or those using an unreliable network experience your website
- highlighting usability issues
- assessing your website's Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and performance, so you can discover how easy it is for users to find your digital project
- analysing how compatible your digital project is with assistive technology
- creating more responsive design with a resizer tool
