What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Section 508 Tester, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Section 508 Tester, you need a solid understanding of accessibility standards (especially Section 508), web development basics (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), and experience with accessibility testing methodologies. Familiarity with tools such as JAWS, NVDA, AXE, and WAVE, as well as certifications like IAAP CPACC or WAS, is highly valuable. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and clear written communication help testers identify and report accessibility issues effectively in a virtual setting.

What are some common challenges Remote Section 508 Testers face when collaborating with development teams, and how can they be addressed?

Remote Section 508 Testers often encounter challenges communicating accessibility issues to developers who may not be familiar with Section 508 standards. Bridging this knowledge gap requires clear documentation, visual examples, and frequent, proactive communication through virtual meetings or collaboration tools. Establishing shared understanding of priorities and integrating accessibility testing into the development lifecycle can streamline workflows and ensure compliance. Cultivating strong relationships with developers and project managers also helps testers advocate effectively for accessibility from project inception through completion.

What are Remote Section 508 Testers?

Working remotely, they use specialized tools and manual testing methods to identify and report accessibility issues. Their goal is to help organizations make their digital resources usable for everyone, including people with visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments.

RESULTS. INNOVATION. VALUES. ACCOUNTABILITY. 
That’s RIVA. 
We’re a mission-driven IT services company and systems integrator supporting digital transformation and modernization for Federal government agencies. Since 2009, we’ve partnered with our customers to solve complex challenges through smart, practical innovation to deliver real outcomes where they matter most. Our teams are made up of industry-leading experts who are passionate about doing great work and making a difference. We don’t just develop solutions—we support efforts that strengthen communities and serve the public good. 
RIVA’s culture is built on four core values: Results, Innovation, Values, and Accountability (R.I.V.A.). They guide how we work, how we collaborate, and how we measure success. Our employee-first approach is rooted in trust, ownership, and meaningful work. By investing in our people and fostering a flexible, supportive environment, employees have the opportunity to grow their skills, contribute ideas, and make an impact from day one—all while supporting missions that matter. 
 
Position Overview 
RIVA Solutions is seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Tester to support testing and quality assurance activities for Federal client digital products and web modernization initiatives. The ideal candidate will develop test strategies and test cases, coordinate test execution, manage defects, support user acceptance testing (UAT), perform regression testing, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve quality processes and release readiness. 
 
Core Responsibilities 
  • Develop and maintain test plans, test cases, acceptance criteria, regression suites, release checklists, and test execution schedules for web enhancements, Drupal migrations, content updates, search features, data visualizations, and microsites. 
  • Perform functional, integration, regression, browser, mobile, usability, content, and UAT support testing across Federal client web properties and environments. 
  • Validate requirements, user stories, designs, and acceptance criteria against implemented functionality and documented business needs. 
  • Log, prioritize, track, and retest defects in Jira; support bug triage meetings and coordinate issue resolution with developers, content staff, and accessibility specialists. 
  • Support testing for Drupal/WCMS migrations, including content parity, redirects, metadata, taxonomy, page templates, search behavior, and domain consolidation activities. 
  • Perform basic accessibility checks and coordinate with the Senior Trusted Tester for detailed Section 508 testing and remediation validation. 
  • Use automated testing tools such as Selenium or comparable platforms to improve regression coverage and reduce manual testing efforts. 
  • Track and report testing progress, quality trends, open defects, release readiness, risks, and stakeholder concerns. 
  • Contribute to QA process improvements, SOPs, templates, naming conventions, defect workflows, and quality metrics. 
 
Minimum Qualifications 
  • Experience developing test plans, test cases, test scripts, regression suites, and release readiness criteria for web applications or CMS-based websites. 
  • Experience conducting functional, regression, cross-browser, mobile, content, usability, and UAT testing. 
  • Experience managing defects and test execution using Jira, HP ALM, Quality Center, or comparable tools. 
  • Working knowledge of Drupal or similar CMS workflows, HTML/CSS basics, browser developer tools, and web standards. 
  • Familiarity with Section 508/WCAG concepts, W3C/HTML5 standards, and accessible digital product testing. 
  • Strong analytical, documentation, communication, coordination, and issue-triage skills. 
 
Preferred Qualifications 
  • Experience with Selenium or other automated testing tools, BrowserStack, PowerMapper, Lighthouse, Axe, WAVE, or comparable QA tools. 
  • Experience leading testing for Drupal 7/8/9/10 migrations, public-facing Federal websites, or Federal client digital services. 
  • Experience with CMMI, ISO 9001, Agile/Scrum methodologies, Jira administration, or QA process improvement initiatives. 
  • Experience supporting security accreditation, ATO documentation, POA&Ms, or risk and quality management processes.
