Thank you Joe and Gez.

We also need to remember that Human testing is not always the same as 
user testing...

I was asking someone about the new working draft, and they asked me if 
the orentaion and focus pf WCAG has  changed the help the emphasis  was 
towards helping the designed at the expense of the perspective of  
disabled user . I am not saying I agree but I think we need to think 
about it.

Checklist type testability is really useful for the designer. User 
testing on the other hand focuses the user.

All the best
Lisa
