Web and mobile accessibility ensure that people with disabilities, can independently gather information, complete transactions, or communicate on the internet. Accessibility Testing ensures that a website or a web application is accessible by people with disabilities. It could be vision impairment, hearing disabilities or any other physical or cognitive disabilities.
Advantages of Accessibility Testing
- Unexplored Opportunity : A research shows that 70% of websites in certain websites are inaccessible to vision impaired. It’s missing a $6.9 billion market. Research shows that 2/3 of transactions were abandoned by blind people, who were attempting to buy online.
- Prevent Lawsuits: Every country has their own laws regarding the accessibility of websites. Few examples of digital accessibility lawsuits:
- National Association of the Deaf (NAD) Files Disability Civil Rights Lawsuit against Netflix
- Federal Website Accessibility Lawsuits Increased in 2020 Despite Mid-Year Pandemic Lull
- Compliance to WCAG: It’s important to ensure that your website meets all requirements mentioned in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
How Pro – Test can help you?
Pro – Test’s Accessibility Testing Methodology is based on WCAG 2.2. It includes both Manual and Automated Testing. We follow the WCAG accessibility principle of P.O.U.R. It is an acronym for four high principles of functional accessibility. We have built detailed checklists to ensure your websites are:
- Perceivable : Our tests ensure that user can identify content and link basics by means of senses. For many users, this means understanding a system primarily visually. While for others, understanding may be a matter of sound or touch.
- Operable : We assess that a user can navigate your websites or applications, with just a keyboard or other inputs to navigate such as dictation software.
- Understandable : Our testing methodology will examine the consistency in website/application for presentation and format. Ensure its normal design and usage patterns are concise and appropriate to the audience in its voice and tone.
- Robust : Our team will ensure that your website content is compatible with all forms of accessibility testing with the latest version of WCAG guidelines.
