Who is a Trusted Tester?

• A. A developer
• B. A content author
• C. A product manager
• D. A person certified to provide accurate and repeatable test results, following the Trusted Tester Section 508 Conformance Test Process for Web

Answer: (D)

Being a Trusted Tester means you are certified to perform accessibility testing for the Web under the Trusted Tester Section 508 Conformance Test Process, delivering accurate and repeatable test results. This certification ensures tests are carried out with a standardized method and properly documented evidence, so findings are trustworthy and can be reproduced across projects. It isn’t just about holding a role like developer, content author, or product manager; those roles may contribute to accessibility, but they aren’t automatically the formal Certified Trusted Testers unless they complete the certification and follow the official test process.
