Testing in prod? Bold.
They don't know what accessibility is, what makes you think they have test environments?
Everyone has a test environment. Some are lucky enough to have a separate environment for production.
Everyone has a test environment. Some of us are lucky enough to have a separate Production environment.
The quality of the test environment isn't guaranteed though. I ran a production system that had a shell of a "test" environment with no data from prod. I repeatedly told the vendor testing in their "test" environment was worthless because without the prod data I had no real way to recreate so many of the situations that naturally came up for my users in the production software. The vendor refused to correct the problem, so I told them - with all the relevant managers present - to stop asking me to waste my time testing new releases when doing so was effectively useless.
