The importance of accessibility

Gain a competitive advantage

Accessibility allows your product to be accessible to everyone. This shows that you are considerate, attentive, and respectful to all of your users. Lack of accessibility testing can lead to a bad reputation and decrease your user base, resulting in direct monetary loss.

Deliver an accessible product

Accessibility testing requires a combination of manual and automated testing. Automated testing alone cannot detect all accessibility issues as it may give unreliable results, while manual accessibility testing is more efficient in testing dynamic features.

Manual accessibility testing

Manual accessibility testing allows you to detect accessibility issues that cannot be replicated by a machine or computer program.

Manual accessibility testing is used to assess:

  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Compatibility with assistive technology
  • Error messages and error prevention
  • Distinguishable links
  • Accuracy of text alternatives
  • The meaningful sequence of content
  • Audio descriptions and captions
  • Other accessibility criteria that cannot be automated

Automated accessibility testing

Most digital products contain content that is too large and complex to comb through by hand. Using automated tools helps speed up the testing process.

Automated accessibility testing is used to assess:

  • Page titles
  • Hierarchical heading structure
  • Presence of text alternatives
  • Empty links
  • Color contrast
  • Form labels
  • HTML page language and attributes
