Accessibility testing is challenging for testers as they are unfamiliar with disabilities so there are different ways of testing the Accessibility are:
# Hearing Impairment:
The person who has a disability of hearing can access the content on the website but when it comes to the audio and video they will going to face difficulties. So for that, an ALT text means Alternative text should be there related to particular audio and video.
Example: There is a video based on how to Book a Bus Ticket: So for that, the text should be there with proper steps so a deaf or hard to listen person can read details and get an idea what the video is all about.
# Visual Impairment:
Color blindness and Poor vision disability comes under Visual Impairment.
a. Color Blindness:-
Color Blindness means a person who is not able to view some specific color properly. Like, a person having color blindness of red color and the website is 60% in red color > then the user is not comfortable with the color. So that the website should be developed in such a way that a person with color blindness does not face any problem to access that.
Example: If a red color button is outlined with black color, then it is easily accessible to the user.
b. Poor Vision Disability:-
For a person with a poor vision or different eyesight problem want to access website then the best thing to do is avoid small text and the website should be designed in a way that the layout should not be breakable while zooming the text.
# Vision Disability:
The person who has a vision disability and wanted to access the website, then there is one option named as SCREENREADER. The Screen reader is Software which is used for narrating or voice over the content on the web. Basically, it will speak what is on your website whether it is Link, Images, content, Radio Button, Video etc.
Example: When the page loads completely Screen Reader will again announce Google.Com Homepage. Now if I go to Google Search, then Screen Reader will announce Google search. So that would be easy to recognize things in an easy manner for a blind person.
