Accessibility isn't a checkbox.
It's a product quality issue.
The Problem
- Accessibility bolted on after launch
- Manual checks only, no assistive tech testing
- ADA/WCAG gaps creating legal exposure
Our approach
- Built into every sprint cycle
- Real testing with VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA
- WCAG 2.1 AA coverage as standard
Built for your team
What our accessibility testing covers
Screen reader testing

Mobile accessibility
Touch target sizes, gesture alternatives, and responsive text.
Audit & remediation report
Prioritized fix list with severity ratings and developer guidance.
How an engagement works
Most teams don’t know where they stand with accessibility until something breaks or a lawyer calls. We start by showing you exactly where you are, then fix it from the inside out.
Baseline audit
We run a full WCAG 2.1 audit across your web and mobile product. You get a prioritized report with severity levels and dev-ready fix guidance, not a spreadsheet dump, an actual action plan.
Sprint integration
We embed accessibility checks directly into your existing QA cycle. Screen reader testing, keyboard coverage, and contrast validation happen every sprint, not just before a big release.
Ongoing compliance
Accessibility breaks when new features ship without it. Your Pod tracks your score over time, flags regressions early, and keeps your product compliant as it grows — not just on launch day.
FAQs
1. What's the difference between automated and manual accessibility testing?
Automated tools like Axe or Lighthouse catch around 30% of WCAG issues, things like missing alt text or contrast failures. The other 70% requires a real human using a real screen reader. We do both, so you get complete coverage, not just what a script can find.
2. Do you help with ADA compliance lawsuits or legal remediation?
We are not a legal firm and we don’t provide legal advice. What we do is identify and fix the accessibility gaps that typically lead to those situations in the first place. If you’re already facing a demand letter, we can work alongside your legal team to document remediation progress and close issues fast.
3. Which screen readers do you test with?
We test with VoiceOver on iOS and macOS, TalkBack on Android, NVDA on Windows, and JAWS for enterprise environments. These cover the vast majority of real-world assistive technology usage across web and mobile.
4. Is accessibility testing included in all service tiers?
A foundational accessibility mindset is part of every Outpost QA engagement. Full WCAG 2.1 AA coverage, screen reader testing, and sprint-integrated checks are available as a quarterly standalone audit or as continuous coverage through our Tier 3 Enterprise Subscriptions.
5. Can you test native mobile apps, not just websites?
Yes. We test native iOS and Android apps using VoiceOver and TalkBack respectively, covering touch target sizes, gesture alternatives, dynamic text support, and screen reader navigation. Mobile is not an afterthought in our process.
Inclusive Design Shouldn't Be an Afterthought
We offer Accessibility testing as a quarterly standalone strategic audit, or fully integrated into our Tier 3 Enterprise Subscriptions.
