Introduction to Accessibility Testing

[Aly Dawood] Hi, I’m Aly Dawood, Director of Professional Services at QA Consultants. Today, I’ll discuss accessibility testing, its importance, and how QA Consultants can help you achieve compliance.

Why Accessibility Is Important

Accessibility ensures inclusivity by removing barriers for individuals with disabilities. It is not just a legal requirement but a social responsibility. Government-mandated accessibility laws include:

• Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Ontario.
• Section 508 in the United States.

Failure to comply with these laws can result in penalties and fines.

QA Consultants’ Accessibility Testing Practice

QA Consultants provides expert-level accessibility testing for a wide range of clients, including government organizations, Fortune 500 companies, digital agencies, and financial institutions. Our services comply with:

• WCAG 2.0 Levels A, AA, and AAA.

Our comprehensive approach includes:

• Specialized tools and proprietary techniques.
• Deep code analysis to meet all 12 WCAG 2.0 guidelines and 61 success criteria.

Limitations of Automated Accessibility Scanners

Automated scanners claim to perform accessibility testing but fall short:

• They only cover a fraction of WCAG guidelines.
• Their reports often contain false positives and false negatives.
• Significant human intervention is needed to interpret the results.

QA Consultants provides thorough, accurate, and actionable accessibility testing services to eliminate these issues.
