Dublin [Ireland], September 25: BrowserStack, the world's leading software testing platform, today announced the launch of App Accessibility Testing, a comprehensive solution designed to make mobile applications more inclusive and accessible to all users.
As the digital world evolves, accessible apps are essential for high-quality, consistent user experiences. Regulations like US Section 508, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and European Accessibility Act (EAA) are driving this shift, encouraging companies to develop more inclusive digital solutions.
App Accessibility Testing takes a proactive approach, allowing companies to address accessibility early in development. In addition, it fosters inclusive innovation and broadens audience reach, potentially boosting revenue. Its key capabilities include:
* Instant access to real iOS and Android devices with zero setup.
* Workflow scanner, powered by BrowserStack's proprietary rule engine, makes accessibility testing 5x faster.
* One-click access to TalkBack and VoiceOver screen readers, with the ability to capture issues via recordings and screenshots.
* Centralized reporting dashboard with annotated screenshots offers insights and actionable remediation steps for easy resolution.
According to WebAIM's Screen Reader User Survey, the preference for mobile app usage for common online tasks such as shopping and banking has increased to 58% in 2024, up from 51.8% in 2021, highlighting the growing importance of accessible mobile applications.
"App Accessibility Testing reflects our commitment to digital inclusion," said Nakul Aggarwal, CTO and Co-founder of BrowserStack. "This frictionless solution empowers QA and developer teams to create truly inclusive apps, advancing our vision for accessible software across all platforms."
With App Accessibility Testing for mobile apps and Accessibility Testing for websites, BrowserStack now offers a comprehensive suite of tools that empowers development teams to create accessible digital experiences.
