Experience Report about the Inclusion of People with Disabilities in the Process of Testing an Accessible System for Learning Management

This article discusses the inclusion of people with
disabilities in the process of testing an accessible system solution
for distance education. The accessible system, team profile,
methodologies and techniques covered in the testing process are
presented. The testing process shown in this paper was designed
from the experience with user. The testing process emerged from
lessons learned from past experiences and the end user is present at
all stages of the tests. Also, lessons learned are reported and how it
was possible the maturing of the team and the methods resulting in
a simple, productive and effective process.
