Description: Accessibility testing is a set of evaluations designed to ensure that software is usable by people with disabilities. These tests focus on identifying and correcting barriers that may prevent users with various abilities, such as visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities, from effectively interacting with the software. Accessibility not only refers to the ability to use the software but also to the overall user experience, ensuring that everyone has equitable access to information and functionalities. Accessibility testing may include reviewing the user interface, navigation, the use of assistive technologies, and compliance with standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These tests are essential in the development of inclusive software, as they not only meet legal requirements in many countries but also expand the product’s reach, allowing a larger number of people to use it. In an increasingly digital world, accessibility has become a critical aspect of software design and development, promoting equal opportunities and social inclusion.
