Accessibility Testing

What is Accessibility Testing?

Accessibility testing ensures that an application can be used by people with disabilities, verifying compliance with standards like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

Key Areas Checked

• Compatibility with screen readers for visually impaired users.
• Keyboard navigation, ensuring all functionality is usable without a mouse.
• Colour contrast and text sizing for users with low vision or colour blindness.
• Support for other assistive technologies, such as voice input.

Why It Matters

Accessibility testing ensures the application is usable by the widest possible audience and is often a legal and regulatory requirement in many industries and regions.
