List Of Tools To Perform Accessibility Testing
In one of my previous posts, I discussed Accessibility testing. In this article, I will be discussing the tools that you can use in real-time to perform accessibility testing on the projects.
There are many tools available to perform accessibility testing. But, you need to find useful ones which fulfill the customer’s requirements.
Here are some popular examples:
- Screen readers: Screen readers, such as NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) and JAWS (Job Access With Speech), are software programs that read out the text displayed on the screen for people with visual impairments. These tools can help to test the accessibility of web pages, and desktop and mobile applications.
2. Color Contrast Analyzers: Color contrast analyzers, such as WebAIM’s Color Contrast Checker or the Paciello Group’s Colour Contrast Analyser, are tools that help to test the contrast between foreground and background colors on a web page. This is important for people with color vision deficiencies.
3. Keyboard-only navigation testing: Keyboard-only navigation testing involves using only the keyboard to navigate a website or application.
This can help to identify any accessibility barriers for users who cannot use a mouse.
