If a website is not accessible to all potential visitors, what is the quality of that website? Services, products, information, and entertainment on the web can all be made available to millions consumers with vision loss, hearing loss, motor control loss, or even information processing challenges by complying with web accessibility standards. Assistive technologies, such as screen readers, enable web use by visitors with profound vision loss or blindness by converting web page text and images into computerized voice. But, these technologies cannot interpret websites or web applications that are not built and tested for compliance to Section 508 of the Rehab Act of 1973 as updated in the1998 Rehab Amendments Act.

Join Patrick Maher, TAP Group/nAblement and Robbie Miller, nAblement to learn how software quality assurance and business analysis professionals can champion web accessibility requirements and ensure they are properly defined and tested.
