Introduction
Accessibility is the practice of designing and developing digital products and services that are used by people with disabilities. Accessibility is not only a legal requirement, but also a moral and ethical responsibility, as it ensures that everyone participates in and benefits from the digital world.
Accessibility evaluation and testing are essential processes to ensure that accessibility is achieved and maintained throughout a product’s lifecycle.
- Accessibility evaluation is the process of identifying and analyzing the accessibility issues and barriers that affect the user experience of people with disabilities.
- Accessibility testing is the process of verifying and validating the accessibility of a product or service, using various methods and tools.
