What is Accessibility Testing?
Accessibility testing is a type of software testing process that verifies whether the website or web application is usable by every person who may or may not have disabilities.
It makes sure that the user can access the website content without any physical interactions like without using the computer keyboard or a mouse and touchpad!
Accessibility is also abbreviated as A11Y. Accessibility’s standard rules are derived by WCAG(Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 (w3.org))
