Automated Accessibility Testing: Core benefits and features

According to the World Health Organization, 15% of the population have one or form of disability. This data significantly drives the importance of Accessibility Testing in the current world. Meaning, it’s not only the right thing to do to make applications more accessible from an inclusive perspective but also makes business sense in doing so. 

Since businesses need to make applications accessible to everyone, accessibility test automation is the best way to meet user expectations. 

Before discussing the benefits, let’s first discuss the factors you need to include in your application to make it accessible. 

Important Accessibility Features to Consider

Voice inputs – For people with mobility and visual impairments to interact with an application.

Accessible websites enable users to access all content and functionality like links, forms, media controls, etc., through keyboard-assisted technologies.

Visible keyboard focus – By making Keyboard focus visible through following a logical order within the page elements. It can be a border or highlight that moves as a user tab through the web page.

Resize text – To support people who need enlarged web content to read or see. Also, other people need improved aspects like font, space between lines, etc.  

Color Contrast ratio – To help people who cannot read texts if the contrast between texts and background is insufficient. For example, light grey text on a bright background. 

Captions and subtitles – To assist people with hearing impairments. It applies mainly to audio/video content.
