The digital world is evolving at a very fast pace and in a modern environment it is important and topical to create a quality world-class software product that will be accessible to all people regardless of their capabilities. Lack of access to websites can lead to inconvenience and access issues for people with disabilities. This is why there are accessibility standards and guidelines. More and more companies that create international software products realize that in order to be effectively competitive, it is important to ensure high quality products in all aspects, and one of the most important aspects is accessibility testing.
