Accessibility testing is the process of evaluating a digital product to ensure it is usable by individuals with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. The goal is to eliminate barriers and provide an inclusive experience for all users, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.
