What is Accessibility Testing?

Accessibility Testing is the practice of ensuring that web and mobile applications are usable by as many people as possible, including those with disabilities. This type of testing evaluates how well an application supports users with various impairments, such as visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. The goal is to identify and address any accessibility barriers that might prevent these users from effectively interacting with the application.

Accessibility Testing involves using specialized tools and techniques to assess compliance with accessibility standards and guidelines, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). By conducting thorough accessibility evaluations, organizations can create more inclusive digital experiences, ensuring that their products are accessible to a wider audience. This not only helps in meeting legal and regulatory requirements but also enhances the overall user experience, promoting equality and usability for all users.
