Accessibility Testing - Why It's important - European Accessibility Act

In this video, I am talking about accessibility testing (A11Y) and why it's important for all of us. According to WHO appr. 1.3 billion people, or 16% of the world population, are living with some sort of impairments. And this number will increase in the next years. This huge number of people are left out in many online services and products. This has to change! In 2025 the EU will release the European Accessibility Act. This will require companies to build new products accessible from day 1. I will cover more insights about accessibility and the testing and what we as testers can do to improve the lives of so many people on this planet. Enjoy the video and let me know what you and your team are doing in terms of accessibility! A big thank you to @practitest for being the main sponsor for this video.
