Remote and in-lab sessions across NVDA, JAWS, Voiceover, Talk Back, magnifiers, switch access, and keyboard-only. WCAG 2.2 AA alignment and jurisdiction mapping (ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, EAA, AODA, UK Equality Act, India SEBI and IS 17802 and GIGW).
Below is the feature set we validate with real assistive technology users across web and mobile. Each pillar explains what we check, the specific user actions we observe, and the outcome your team can rely on in the next sprint.
What we validate: Whether headings, landmarks, and roles form a logical scaffold that AT users can navigate without guessing. We examine HTML semantics, ARIA usage, and reading order to ensure every region is exposed correctly to screen readers and other AT. Checks we perform:
Client benefit and end result: Users can understand structure quickly and move with fewer keystrokes. Your team receives a region map and heading outline to fix gaps without redesign.
Aarav Infotech pairs rigorous recruiting with an AT lab matrix that mirrors real usage across India and global markets. Every session is captured under a secure consent and storage model, then distilled into evidence your product, QA, and legal teams can trust. You receive findings that are precise, law mapped, and ready to ship as tickets without extra rewriting.
Plan my user testing
Tangible improvements for users and teams.
Real assistive technology sessions show exactly where users struggle and how fixes change outcomes. Completion rates improve on sign in, search, and checkout, and time on task drops because focus paths are clearer. Operationally, you get a baseline plus a re test delta, so accessibility outcomes are tracked like any other KPI and can be shared in weekly product reviews.
User testing surfaces barriers that commonly trigger complaints and escalations, then maps each to WCAG 2.2 AA with notes for IS 17802 and GIGW in India and portability to ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, EAA, AODA, and the UK Equality Act. The user win is fewer blockers and clearer communication. The operational win is faster sign off from legal and fewer last minute compliance surprises.
Findings arrive with steps to reproduce, expected announcements, focus order, and component notes that remove ambiguity. Users benefit because fixes land right the first time and regress less often. Teams benefit because acceptance criteria are testable and consistent, reducing rework, shortening cycle time, and letting QA verify quickly without detective work.
Evidence is packaged so enterprise buyers and public sector teams can review quickly. Users gain confidence that the product is inclusive and reliable. Your organization gains speed because the bundle supports VPAT ACR evidence, policy questionnaires, and RFP submissions, turning accessibility from a blocker into a competitive advantage.
Instructions, errors, and labels are tuned so people understand what to do and why a task failed. Videos include accurate captions and transcripts, and documents have correct tags and reading order. The user impact is clearer comprehension and fewer dead ends. The operational win is reusable content checklists that marketing, CX, and documentation teams can apply at scale.
Accessibility is not a one time event. Light monitoring plus a reserved re test slot keeps improvements in place as designs evolve. Users experience consistent behavior across versions. Product owners see trend lines rather than one off wins, which makes planning predictable and reduces the cost of late fixes.
Short highlight reels and annotated screenshots make problems obvious in minutes. Users see faster improvements because decisions happen quickly. Leaders, designers, and engineers align on priorities with the same artifacts, cutting meeting time and making go or no go calls clearer at release gates.
Accessible flows reduce abandonments on forms, payments, and support tasks. The user experience feels smoother for everyone, not only those using assistive tech. Operationally, support tickets tied to OTP, CAPTCHA, and document access go down, while conversion and retention lift, giving marketing and product clean wins they can attribute.
User testing delivers deep insight into how real users experience your digital product, but its full value unfolds when combined with complementary accessibility services. At Aarav Infotech, you can integrate testing with audits, remediation, certification, monitoring, and training to build a complete, compliant, and continuously improving accessibility program. Start with what fits your current roadmap and scale up as your maturity grows.
We keep the workflow light for your product managers and developers while giving you credible, defensible evidence from real assistive-technology users. Every engagement follows a well-defined, repeatable path - so you always know what's happening next and how it ties to your release cycle.
See your first 30 days mapped to a planEach engagement begins with a short discovery call to understand your product's purpose, release timelines, target users, and accessibility goals - starting with India-first compliance and scaling globally. You simply share three to five critical user flows, non-production test credentials, and any known risks or trouble areas. In return, you receive a concise scope note, defined success criteria, and a draft test matrix outlining devices, operating systems, browsers, and assistive-technology coverage.
Once the scope is set, we translate your key flows into realistic, outcome-based tasks with measurable pass-fail indicators. You review and confirm which tasks or edge cases deserve extra attention. We then deliver the final test plan, a structured session outline, and vetted consent language that aligns with your legal and procurement standards - ensuring your testing process is both compliant and human-centered.
Our recruiting team sources genuine users who rely on assistive technology every day. Each participant is screened for device type, preferred AT, and confidence with specific tasks to guarantee authentic insights. You may share any audience preferences or internal security requirements if applicable. The output is a participant roster with detailed profiles and a comprehensive AT coverage matrix for transparency and audit readiness.
Before the full rollout, we conduct a brief pilot session with one participant to validate scripts, confirm timing accuracy, and assess the quality of captured feedback. Your team can optionally join as observers to align on note-taking conventions and expectations. Following this step, you receive the pilot findings along with any recommended script or logistics adjustments - minimizing surprises in the main study.
Live moderated sessions take place across desktop and mobile platforms, covering NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, magnifiers, switch access, and keyboard-only navigation. Your team provides a stable build and a quick communication channel via Slack or email for clarifications. We share session recordings, time-stamped notes, and real-time callouts for critical blockers - enabling your engineers to act fast while the context is still fresh.
After testing, our analysts consolidate observations, map each issue to WCAG 2.2 AA, and evaluate its impact and implementation effort. You can specify how your teams define severity so that our priority labels match your existing backlog norms. The deliverable is a clear, prioritized findings list with reproducible steps, affected design patterns, screenshots, and acceptance criteria - making remediation precise and actionable.
We distill the key findings into a concise evidence pack that busy stakeholders can quickly absorb. This includes a short highlight reel, annotated screenshots, and transcripts, all explained in plain language that connects user experience to WCAG and legal requirements. During a 45-minute briefing with your product, design, QA, and compliance teams, we walk through the results and provide law-mapping notes covering both Indian and global regulations.
As your team begins implementing fixes, we stay engaged to review pull requests, clarify edge cases, and provide code-level guidance. You can share links to in-progress tickets for rapid turnaround. Our engineers and accessibility specialists deliver fast, practical feedback on CSS, ARIA usage, focus management, and component patterns, ensuring that your improvements align with accessibility best practices without delaying your release schedule.
Finally, we perform targeted re-tests on the fixed issues to verify user impact and confirm closure. You simply provide the updated build and a short list of tickets ready for verification. The outcome is a detailed delta report showing what changed, pass confirmations for verified fixes, and supporting artifacts suitable for internal audits, procurement, or certification submission.
Straightforward, practical, and built for fast decisions
You don’t need an accessibility audit before starting user testing, though the two often complement each other. Many organizations begin with user testing to reveal blockers that affect actual user journeys such as login or checkout, and follow up with a deeper audit for templates and global patterns. If an audit already exists, the testing phase becomes validation - confirming whether recent fixes actually solve the right problems. You’ll still receive full deliverables including task outlines, findings, video highlights, and prioritized reports, all of which can stand alone or plug into previous audit results. This approach lets teams act quickly without waiting for a long audit cycle, focusing first on the issues that directly stop real users.
We test using the combinations that matter most to your users. Standard coverage includes NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android. We also evaluate magnifiers, switch access, and keyboard-only use to ensure broad reach. Browsers typically include Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, chosen according to analytics from your traffic data. You receive an Assistive Technology Coverage Matrix listing devices, operating systems, browser versions, and AT tools used in the study. This matrix anchors your future QA and compliance checks, ensuring your evidence aligns with both Indian and international accessibility laws.
For focused validation of a single user flow, four to five participants provide a strong signal without overextending your budget or timeline. Broader scopes with three to four flows across desktop and mobile typically require eight to twelve sessions for comprehensive insights. Enterprise programs can scale quarterly with rotating participants for ongoing validation. You’ll receive a participant plan describing AT mix, device ratio, and confidence level, along with anonymized profiles. This balance ensures data reliability, realistic diversity, and actionable insight - enough to reveal patterns but lean enough to keep schedules on track.
Yes, remote testing is our standard approach. Participants use their everyday devices and assistive technologies in real-world conditions, providing authentic insights. With permission, sessions are recorded, capturing the screen, system audio, and AT speech output. Observers from your team can silently join through a moderated back channel to watch in real time. Recordings are time-stamped and segmented by task, making it easy to jump directly to key findings. Each session contributes to a short highlight reel that leadership can review in minutes. This remote format keeps logistics simple while delivering powerful, shareable evidence.
Every engagement concludes with a structured evidence bundle designed for cross-team use. You’ll receive a prioritized findings report, annotated screenshots, highlights video, assistive tech matrix, and a full mapping of each issue to WCAG 2.2 AA criteria. For India-first compliance, we include notes for IS 17802 and GIGW, along with global references for ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, EAA, AODA, and the UK Equality Act. Each issue also lists acceptance criteria for re-testing, ensuring developers and QA teams can verify fixes confidently. This documentation supports your procurement, VPAT, and ACR evidence needs, making compliance and audit reviews faster and friction-free.
Documents and media are tested from a real user perspective, not just against technical tags. PDFs and Office files are reviewed for logical reading order, proper headings, labeled form fields, tables, and alternative text for images. Media assets such as videos and podcasts are validated for captions, transcripts, and audio description cues, as well as keyboard and screen reader operability within players. The outcome includes a document tagging checklist, reading order verification sheet, and a media accessibility checklist tied to WCAG and IS 17802 standards. This ensures that downloadable assets and embedded media are just as accessible as your website or app.
An audit checks your code and UI against WCAG. User testing shows how real assistive technology users experience your product. It reveals blockers, confusion, and workarounds that tools miss. Most teams use both - audit to find broad issues, testing to confirm real impact and prioritise fixes.
We cover NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, TalkBack on Android, common screen magnifiers, switch access, and keyboard-only use. We match versions to what your users are most likely to run.
For focused validation of 1 to 2 flows, 4 to 5 sessions give strong signal. For 3 to 4 flows across desktop and mobile, 8 to 12 sessions are typical. Enterprise programs scale further with quarterly cycles.
Yes. We run sessions on real devices for iOS and Android and capture on-screen actions, gestures, and announcements.
We handle recruiting and screening by AT, device, and task confidence. If you already have a panel, we can work with them after consent checks.
Starter about 1 week, Standard about 2 to 3 weeks, Enterprise on a planned cadence. Timelines depend on scope, flows, and availability of builds.
A stable test build, 3 to 5 top flows, test credentials, and a point of contact for quick questions. Optional observers from your team are welcome.
Yes. We encourage one or two observers per session. We provide etiquette guidelines so participants stay comfortable and sessions run smoothly.
A prioritized findings report, Jira-ready export, highlights video, AT coverage matrix, annotated screens, law mapping notes, and a re-test delta report after fixes.
Each issue is tied to WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria and includes notes for Indian guidelines like IS 17802 and GIGW, with portability to ADA, Section 508, EN 301 549, EAA, AODA, and the UK Equality Act.
Yes. Fixes that improve keyboard access, focus, forms, and media typically reduce user friction for everyone, which supports better engagement and conversion.
Every participant signs informed consent. We use encrypted storage and sensible retention. Access to recordings and notes is restricted to your approved stakeholders.
Yes. A targeted re-test confirms user impact and updates evidence. You receive a clear pass or improvement note per ticket.
Absolutely. We translate recurring findings into pattern guidance and check new components so improvements scale across products.
English and major Indian languages on request. We match participants and moderators accordingly and keep reports in clear, simple English for broad use.
We can focus on the highest risk flows, run an express cycle, and provide a rapid evidence pack so you can make go or no-go calls with confidence.
