Accessibility software testing platforms are tools designed to evaluate the accessibility of websites, applications, and digital content for users with disabilities. These platforms typically combine automated testing with manual testing by experts to identify potential accessibility issues based on established guidelines like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Automated testing can quickly scan code and identify low-hanging accessibility issues, while manual testing by experts and user testing with individuals who have disabilities is crucial for a comprehensive accessibility evaluation.
Some key features of accessibility testing platforms include automated scanning, manual code review capabilities, screen reader testing, and reporting dashboards to track and remediate identified issues.
The methods of deployment and reporting vary based on company offerings.
