Testing ASP.NET Web Applications (Accessibility and Security Edition)

Testing has become a hot topic in the software industry in the last few years. You may be asking yourself what security and accessibility have in common…and you should come to this talk to find out! In this session, Jeff will discuss best practices for making accessible and secure web applications, and how to best approach these two distinct types of testing.
