ACCESSIBILITY TESTING, in short A11Y Testing(because it has 11 letters between a & y :)) is a separate section that holds a big responsibility.

What is A11Y Testing?

Ask ten accessibility professionals what accessibility testing is, and, you’ll get ten different answers. Some will emphasize usability. Some will tell you it’s a code quality problem. Others may say it’s all about compliance and check lists. I still find it hard to answer this question.

No, it’s not because we don’t have standards. We have several standards that different nations have come up with. So Accessibility testing is a type of software testing performed to make sure an app complies with recommendations of the so called standards. Segment 508 and WCAG rules are the main standards being used in the world.

Section 508 is the availability standard characterized by the US government, to ensure that all US government sites can be gotten to by differently abled people.
