Software Accessibility Testing Services

Accessibility is what makes a digital product usable to people regardless of the technology they’re using or disabilities they might have. Accessibility covers a lot of different areas, including how contrasts and colors are adjusted to users with visual impairments or how navigation is adjusted to fit people who only use a keyboard without a mouse. Apart from making it easy for different people to access your product, accessibility testing will also help you avoid legal penalties. There are accessibility standards like WCAG or ADA, and compliance with them is overseen by regulatory bodies. For instance, legal claims about missing alt text in images, empty links, or page elements that don’t support assistive technologies are pretty common and lead to massive fines.

As an accessibility testing agency, we offer a full cycle of QA services that includes both automated and manual methods for identifying accessibility barriers. We can provide a comprehensive accessibility audit to suggest improvements, and we can build a QA team for your project to efficiently find and fix accessibility errors. If you have doubts or questions about the accessibility QA process, approach, or types of tests, reach out to us, and we’ll explain to you in greater detail how we work with accessibility.

You can conduct accessibility testing when your software product is already developed, but it’s highly recommended to start as early as possible. You can come to us for accessibility QA at any stage of development, and we’ll make sure that testing cycles allow for smooth, uninterrupted releases.

Yes. While manual testing experts will evaluate the product from the human perspective and spot the issues that automation tools can’t, the process will take much more time and expenses without automation testing tools. We combine both approaches to ensure fast and cost-efficient remediation.

No. However, accessibility violations are legally punishable. Accessibility-related claims and lawsuits can lead to fines of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars or euros.

Accessibility frameworks depend on the region where you’re operating and the type of your product. For example, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is an internationally recognized set of rules for web-based products, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to all digital products for US users, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) applies to Europe, while the Equality Act functions in the UK. We’ve worked with companies from different legislatures and we can consult you on what accessibility standards your particular product needs to follow.
