Today, technology is impacting and transforming our lives in a big way. It is affecting the way we communicate, interact and access information. However, there are over 1 billion people around the world who are differently abled, having color blindness, hearing problems and motor disabilities among others and are deprived of access to information.

What is Accessibility Testing?

Accessibility Testing Services are a combination of manual and automated testing techniques that are used to validate and ensure that applications in context do meet industry standards and appeal to the target audience that includes differently abled.

Why Accessibility Testing?

Product companies and businesses around the world, like never before, are increasingly realizing the importance of providing proper web accessibility to the specially abled.

Many countries are coming up with regulations, which aims to provide mandatory and inclusive web accessibility, and better user experience for the differently abled. Moreover, there are chances of litigation and lawsuits stemming from inaccessible content. In most of the countries, regulations are forcing organizations to think about accessible design and meet global accessibility standards like WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, Section 508, ADA, etc. The advantage for an organization, if it is made Accessibility compliant, is that it increases company’s brand image and they are perceived as a socially responsible organization.

Accessibility Testing: Innominds Way

Innominds is committed to do its part by providing Accessibility Testing and Compliance services that will help your organization become WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 compliant, which, in turn, will increase your user outreach. We work with our clients to audit, rectify and certify to make sure that the platform is fully accessible to everyone ensuring better user engagement.

At Innominds, we validate applications against the following key pivots:

Keyboard Navigation

Can the application be navigated only with keyboard? For dexterity disabilities.

On-Screen Readers

Is the described content ‘correct’ for the visually impaired, in order for it to be read and understood better?

Color Contrast & High Contrast

Is the application content clear and visible to the color-blind/color impaired individuals?

Zoom

If the content is zoomed to a high level, is it visible to the visually impaired to read, apart from ensuring that the content is not lost?

Focus

Is the ‘right’ element in the focus area and are there any differences when the focus is shifted/moved? This is used in conjunction with keyboard navigation.

The quick accessibility checks, which can be used to validate the core accessibility needs of the application are as follows:

1. Images - Alternative Text, CSS and Embedded Text

2. Color - Color Contrast Ratio and Grayscale

3. Keyboard - Focus, Tab and Navigation Order

4. Form - Labels

5. Screen Reader - Content availability for the readers

6. Multimedia - Captions, Text Transcripts and Audio Descriptions
