Accessibility Development Solutions
Overview
Accessibility of web content to specially abled people has now become a compliance issue for several organizations. Developers need to consider the limitations of specially abled people during the design and development phase. Applications should be fully accessible for visually impaired, people with motor disabilities and users suffering from hearing or cognitive impairment.
Several countries have passed legislation to enforce web accessibility for everybody. For instance, USA has defined standards like Section 508, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to handle the audience with special abilities.
Section 508 testing, more specifically WCAG 2.1 compliance testing/development is important to standardize accessibility engineering in product development. WCAG Compliance is one of our core focus areas in the accessibility development services we provide.
Front End Accessible Development
A significant portion of the population is unable to access the Internet with traditional means due to visual, hearing, motor or cognitive disabilities. Hence, it has become imperative to ensure complete web accessibility for specially abled people.
We bring more than a decade of experience in accessibility development. Our solutions include front end development and redesigning the existing application as per the requirement. Our experts ensure effective implementation of accessible solutions while meeting business requirements.
Remediation
Our seasoned experts are capable of fixing bugs permanently. We ensure streamlining of the process to fix issues while reducing the turnaround time without having too much back and forth communication
Our developers are proficient in implementing Alt texts, Captions, Transcripts & Long Descriptions, CSS edits, Reading & Tab Order and Accessibility of Interactive Elements.
Recommendation
Achieving accessibility is not a complex process. Developers and designers only need to follow the guidelines and come up with the best accessible website or applications.
We offer our expertise to help application developers to fix bugs related to accessibility. We provide texts, code snippets, alternative ways to fix the issues. Currently, we are providing remediation services to many clients.
Accessible Documents
Smartphones have enabled the majority of people to have access to digital stuff. It has thus become imperative to make software and websites accessible to visually challenged people.
At QAIT DevLabs, we are committed to produce accessible documents with the help of our visually challenged engineers. We leverage our domain expertise and SMEs to test the accessibility of documents. Through paired testing, our sighted engineer collaborates with a visually impaired engineer to test the documents efficiently.
Accessibility Testing
An Independent testing team is involved in scanning the applications to find out accessibility issues complaint to ‘A’, ‘AA’ or ‘AAA’ standards. They usually follow a paired approach(i.e one sighted & one non-sighted tester) to report accessibility bugs.
The process of accessibility testing includes both manual and automation testing. Automation testing is used to identify whether the website is meeting WCAG guidelines or not.
