Accessibility Testing
Accessibility is the practice of making your websites usable by as many people as possible.
Ensuring that digital content and applications are accessible to and can be used by people with disabilities.

- We work with some of the most renowned NGOs in the disability sector, ensuring that we are always in touch with the real end users.
- We are STQC certified by the Government of India for testing for accessibility. Some of the reference standards of STQC accessibility certifications are:
