The Need For Accessibility Testing
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 15% of the population have a disability, which is the reason Accessibility Testing has become important.

Accessibility Testing not only focuses on verifying usability, but it makes sure that an application can be used by people with many disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
