We constantly run around the quality outdoors without understanding internal factors that contribute to the quality of the code. In Software Development, ensuring the quality of code is of utmost importance. Test coverage and code coverage are two important concepts in software testing and commonly used metrics for measuring code quality and the effectiveness of testing. They both measure the extent to which a program’s code has been tested, but they do so in different ways.

As a company how many times does the word accessibility come into our strategies and project planning? According to AbilityNet, “90% of websites are inaccessible to people with disabilities who rely on assistive technology.” This has led to a negative reputation for various firms and products as well as lawsuits and fines. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 4% of the American workforce has disabilities. So the big question arises, what are we actually doing to convince accessibility testing to be part of our testing strategies? This is where a11y accessibility comes in. More than just doing the basics of accessibility, a11y testing means implementing an entire user journey considering different support for different needs.

Confidence in quality becomes a top priority in the fast-paced sector of software development, where quick innovation and strict deadlines conflict. The effectiveness of testing depends on a strategic approach, particularly test planning and prioritizing in the face of the many tasks and limitations. This becomes a compass directing testing efforts toward the most critical aspects in an environment where every test cannot be executed.
