HiSoftware is an industry leader in developing and promoting accessibility standards.
We are tightly involved in the development of standards and best practices for the
W3C’s Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) Working Group and Microsoft’s
User Interface Automation (UIA). If your organization develops highly-interactive
web or software solutions, your developers can get a head start by implementing
these technologies.

AT Tester Training
Instructor-led Online with On-site available
|
QA and IV&V teams need to know that applications are properly tested and meet
customer requirements. For instance, government is increasingly focused on Section
508 and your product’s failure to fully comply with the Section 508 standards
can mean lost sales. At the same time, testing with assistive technology for compliance
is often difficult for even the best of testers unless they have years of experience
using AT on a daily basis. Your organization can leverage our tester’s experience
by having one of our senior testers leads your QA and IV&V teams through one
of our training courses focused on AT training. Although testing may not seem like
an exciting subject, our trainers have made this one of our most popular courses.
