WCAG 2.1 Compliance Made Easy with Automated Testing

Web accessibility isn't optional—it's a legal requirement and ethical imperative. But manual accessibility testing is time-consuming and prone to human error. Automated testing can catch most WCAG violations instantly.

8 Key Categories We Test

  • Color contrast ratios (WCAG AA 4.5:1 minimum)
  • ARIA labels and attributes
  • Form labels and input accessibility
  • Keyboard navigation support
  • Touch target sizes (minimum 44x44px)
  • Heading hierarchy structure
  • Alt text for images
  • Semantic HTML usage

Beyond Automated Testing

While automation catches 70% of issues, manual testing with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation is still essential. Use automated testing as your first line of defense.

QAProof's accessibility audit provides detailed violation reports with WCAG criterion references, making it easy to fix issues and demonstrate compliance.
