WCAG Testing
Software Engineer and Consultant in Noida, India
The differently abled section of the population is increasing by the day globally. This includes people with visual, hearing, cognitive and motor impairments. As technology makes in-roads into newer domains and applications, making products accessible for one and all has also become the need of the day. Section 508, more specifically WCAG2.0 compliance testing is important to standardize accessibility engineering in product development.
A combination of manual and automated testing techniques is used to provide detailed accessibility testing for our clients to build applications that meet industry standards and appeal to the target audience. Of special note here is that we have employed a few visually challenged people at QA InfoTech to realistically provide accessibility testing services. We have experience with many tools, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice dictation tools, accessibility tool bars etc. At the end of every release, a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) report is made available to our clients. Such a combination of standards driven and people driven testing gives us an end to end accessibility test focus from design and engineering standpoints.
