In Sharmina's words
A tool that gives the right answer but can't be used with a keyboard or a screen reader isn't finished. I check both.

Questions for Sharmina
- What does an accessibility check cover?
- Every button has to work with the keyboard alone, the focus has to be visible and a screen reader has to announce the result when it changes. I also check color contrast in light and dark mode, since the site has both.
- Why automate tests for a converter?
- A converter has hundreds of inputs worth checking, and the answers never change: 255 is always FF. That makes it a good fit for automation. Once the cases are written, they run after every change, so a fix in one tool can't quietly break another.
- What does performance testing mean for a tool that runs in the browser?
- There's no server to load-test, so I look at the page: how fast the tool is ready to type into, and whether a very long input, like a few megabytes of binary, freezes the tab.
