Accessibility Testing Services
Accessibility testing is the process of thoroughly reviewing an application or website to verify its usability for people with disabilities. The primary objective of utilizing accessibility testing services is to make sure that everyone, regardless of ability, can use the software. The software product is methodically tested at every level to guarantee compliance with all relevant regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and pinpoint any potential accessibility impediments. These include issues like poor contrast, missing alternative text for photos, and unclear navigation.
