Automated Accessibility Testing with Merito
Integrating accessibility testing into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) is a smart investment that benefits your business, your users, and your bottom line. We help organizations implement automated accessibility testing to ensure compliance, improve usability, and create a culture of inclusion.
Why Build Automated Accessibility Testing Into Your SDLC?
1. Catch Issues Early
Automated testing identifies accessibility problems during development, reducing costly fixes later in the process. This proactive approach saves time and resources by addressing barriers before they impact end users.
2. Improve Usability for Everyone
Accessibility features benefit all users, not just those with disabilities. Keyboard navigation, text alternatives, and screen reader compatibility enhance the overall user experience and boost satisfaction.
3. Stay Ahead of Compliance Requirements
Regulations like WCAG and ADA evolve, and failing to comply can lead to legal risks and reputational damage. Automated testing ensures your applications remain aligned with these standards throughout updates and releases.
4. Streamline Testing
Automated tools integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines, making accessibility testing a natural part of your development workflow. This means accessibility becomes as essential as functional and security testing in your release process.
5. Demonstrate Commitment to Inclusion
Prioritizing accessibility showcases your organization’s values and commitment to reaching all users. This fosters trust and strengthens your brand.
