What is Accessibility Testing?

Accessibility testing is necessary for the people who are not able to access everything independently. Accessibility is the quality of understanding easily and appreciated. It makes things accessible to all, including people with disabilities through the design of products, devices, services, or environments. The World-Wide Consortium (W3C) says, about 15% of the world population has different kinds of disabilities, which is the main reason Accessibility testing is required.

Principles of Digital Accessibility Standards

World-Wide Consortium (W3C) has created the online Content Accessibility Guidelines which define the list of accessibility standards. The international standards for coding and accessibility are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), both versions 2.0 and 2.1. The principles are classified under 4 principles known as POUR, which are necessary for anyone to access and use web content:

  • 1. Perceivable: Information and user interface (UI) must be presentable to all users during how they go to perceive. Such as transcripts, captions, or subtitles for multimedia.
  • 2. Operable: UI components and navigation must be accessible and operable by all users, such as with a Keyboard navigation rather than mouse i.e., each link on the website must be accessible using a keyboard stroke instead of mouse.
  • 3. Understandable: Users must be able to perceive and use a website, The content on the interface must be understandable, such as Meaningful messages rather than color-driven instruction.
  • 4. Robust: UI content must be robust enough so that it is often accessible to various platforms, browsers, and devices, as well as assistive technologies.

The three levels of WCAG 2.0 conformance are:

  • 1. A (lowest)
  • 2. AA (mid-range)
  • 3. AAA (highest)

Types of Accessibility Testing

Manual Accessibility Testing

The most basic and easiest manual way of testing accessibility is keyboard accessibility. This process has been done by pressing the ‘tab’ key on the keyboard. i.e., every link will get focused on every ‘tab’ press, and thus every user is becoming ready to navigate through the appliance. We’re expertise in accessibility testing tools like screen-readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, Talkback, etc.).

Automated Accessibility Testing

We do start with automated testing; we can automate the website for testing accessibility. which quickly identifies the low-hanging fruit to remediate and improve accessibility.
