What we did
We performed Accessibility Testing to make the application accessible till WCAG 2.1 AAA conformance Level that covers wide range of reasons users might have difficulty accessing the application
We have used multiple tools (10 different tools) which includes Web Scanners, Assistive technologies and Screen readers to cover maximum accessibility guidelines
To ensure compatibility of application across different platforms, we performed testing on multiple platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS) and multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari)
Our developers provided technical recommendations to the clients to fix the reported issues
With a high number of defects reported, we did Defect Clustering to group similar defects that can be fixed with similar resolution
We have created a WCAG 2.1 guideline checklist in advance to reduce the efforts required to verify the application.
