Accessibility Testing

Also known as: A11y Testing

The practice of evaluating software, websites, or digital products to ensure they can be used by people with disabilities, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition, and switch devices. Accessibility testing encompasses automated scanning for standards compliance (e.g., WCAG), manual testing with assistive technologies, and usability testing with disabled users. Effective accessibility testing should be integrated throughout the development lifecycle rather than performed only before release.
