Integrating Accessibility Testing into Development

Table of Contents

Acknowledgements

This solution leverages Accessibility Theme Builder SDK from Discover Financial Services

Business Challenge

Developers often find it tedious and time-consuming to test for accessibility. Accessibility testing is often done after the development and deployment stages, which results in limited feedback on the areas where the accessibility has failed. As a result, it becomes a challenge to ensure that the final product is fully accessible and meets the required standards. This challenge can potentially result in increased costs, delayed product delivery, and a negative impact on the customer experience.

Concept

By integrating Accessibility Theme Builder SDK from Discover Financial Services, Accessify provides feedback to developers during development on areas where the product is failing to meet accessibility standards. By addressing accessibility issues earlier in the development process, Accessify reduces the risk of delayed product delivery, increased costs, and negative customer experiences.
