WHO reports that 1.3 billion people, or 16% of the global population, have significant disabilities.
Accessibility testing is not merely a “nice-to-have” step in the software development lifecycle. It’s a fundamental practice guaranteeing that digital experiences are inclusive and accessible to everyone, including people with visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and neurodivergent needs.
Having conducted accessibility testing, companies can guarantee conformity with multiple regulations and prevent fines or lawsuits for failing to provide accessible digital content.
Accessibility testing identifies potential barriers and ensures that users can easily navigate software, leading to higher engagement and more enjoyable experiences for everyone.
Businesses that prioritize accessibility stand out in a crowded market, signifying that they commit to corporate social responsibility and value diversity.
By ensuring accessibility, companies tap into a broader customer base, increasing their market reach and the chance that users will return and recommend their products to others.
Given the numerous benefits of accessibility testing, certain industries that provide essential services and handle sensitive data have an even greater responsibility to ensure their digital platforms are convenient to all users:
Government and public sector
Banking and financial services
Healthcare
Transportation
Travel and hospitality
eLearning and education
eCommerce
Media and entertainment
Telecommunications
We rigorously test your software against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other international standards to ensure that its digital content is:
We evaluate whether users can clearly discern and process information on a website or application using standard browsing or assistive technologies.
We help confirm that users can effectively navigate the website or application and engage with them via multiple input devices and methods.
We ensure that the use interface is intuitive and consistent, making it easy for users to understand and use.
We test whether a website or application functions smoothly across all devices and technologies, including desktop browsers, mobile phones, and assistive tools.
Without an understanding of accessibility standards and local regulations, deep technical knowledge, and proficiency in specific testing tools, companies fail to properly test their IT products for accessibility and risk lawsuits, user churn, reputational issues, and increased costs.
Inefficient or absent test automation can lead to software release delays or extended release cycles, compliance issues, degraded software quality, increased development costs, and excessive strain on internal QA teams.
Failing to support regular software rollouts and refine the delivery strategy to address accessibility issues can lead to inadequate testing coverage, poor user experience in the delivered software, costly post-release fixes, and even accumulation of accessibility debt.
Difficulty to ensure consistent accessibility across different browsers, OSs, and assistive technologies can result in overlooked critical issues preventing users with disabilities to benefit from an inclusive digital experience.
We leverage an automated testing approach whenever possible (from AI-powered testing to integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines) to speed up results delivery and help our clients meet tight release deadlines.
We understand that no two businesses are the same, which is why we align our QA services and solutions to our clients’ specific requirements, technology stack, industry standards, and project goals.
We develop a well-structured QA strategy and shift testing left to conduct thorough accessibility testing, thus preventing costly fixes, legal liabilities, and negative user feedback.
We need only 2 weeks to identify business objectives, craft a robust testing strategy with the scope, requirements, risks, and deliverables outlined, and assign a dedicated team or an individual to meet our clients’ unique objectives.
We place the experience of our clients’ users with disabilities at the heart of accessibility testing services, helping companies deliver inclusive digital experiences that are easy to navigate, functional, and enjoyable for everyone.
