Description

Hello Tabster Development Team,

I am currently exploring the use of Tabster in the context of web accessibility, with a specific focus on ensuring a seamless experience for users with accessibility needs, such as those utilizing screen readers.

As I navigate through this learning process, I recognize the importance of properly implementing and testing focus behavior, a key component in accessible web design. To that end, I am reaching out for guidance and best practices in this area.

Could you kindly provide specific recommendations on methodologies, tools, or resources effective for testing focus behavior in web projects? Are there particular tools or methods the Tabster team uses to ensure accurate focus behavior in real-world contexts, especially with manual testing using screen readers?

Additionally, I believe it would be beneficial if the Tabster documentation could include more information or links to resources about this topic.
