When it comes to quality engineering, there are additional dimensions that are key to building a great user experience. Accessibility is a core part of quality - ensuring that all users have equitable access to your application. In many ways, accessibility also lends itself to improved testability.
Mabl allows you to combine your accessibility testing and functional testing in one place, simplifying tool sprawl and providing a unified platform for testing and reporting. In addition to running accessibility checks against your application, you can also review comprehensive reporting on accessibility violations in the accessibility dashboard.
Accessibility testing is available as an add-on to your mabl subscription. Contact your customer success manager to learn more.
