Accessibility testing is a way to find out if digital content, websites, or applications meet digital accessibility standards and provide equitable access for people with disabilities.
Testing includes the use of automatic tools and manual processes. Many tests can be done without specialized knowledge, and some require expert support.
If you create, develop, select, or purchase digital resources, you have a responsibility to test for accessibility.
