]]> BarrierBreak is proud to state that we have been awarded a place on the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 5 (DOS5) framework.

As the UK government focuses on ensuring people with disabilities can access digital products, a critical part of that is conducting accessibility testings and audits.

The UK government focuses on providing barrier-free access, fair treatment, and promotes a fair and more equal society through the Equality Act 2010, ISO 30071-1, and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This requires all the state, regional, local authorities and public sector bodies to ensure digital products are accessible by making them ‘perceivable, operable, understandable and robust’.

To help authorities meet accessibility requirements, the DOS5 agreement under Lot 1 – Digital Outcomes helps the UK public sector organisations buy, design, build and provide bespoke digital outcomes including accessibility services.

Under the arrangement BarrierBreak services are available on DOS5 under Lot 1: Digital Outcomes and can deliver the following services:

  • Accessibility Testing and Auditing

  • User Research

Shilpi Kapoor, Managing Director, BarrierBreak said, “BarrierBreak is an offshore leader in digital accessibility. With our people-first approach wherein accessibility experts including people with disabilities are an integral part of our process, we look forward to support different authorities in the UK to meet and go beyond their accessibility  support.

Shashank Kapur, Director of Strategy & Business Development, BarrierBreak said, “We are excited to be on the DOS5 platform and offer our services to the public sector organizations in UK.

]]> The terms usability and accessibility though closely related are often confused. A technically accessible product does not necessarily imply that it is usable, especially for people with disabilities who use various assistive technology. While accessibility refers to providing access a product, website, or an application to all including people with disabilities, usability is a measure of how easy an application, website or a software is to use.

An important part of usability testing is user testing, and to accommodate persons with disabilities as well as the elderly, it is necessary to test your website with people with disabilities.

User tests executed with persons with disabilities using assistive technologies, provides a better understanding of its usability, and ensures ease of access for all users including people with disability and the aged.

People with disabilities include those with:

  1. visual impairments
  2. hearing impairments
  3. mobility impairments
  4. cognitive impairments

To add to this, we also have people who are aged and those having English as a second language.

Getting the website, or the software tested with these users, not only help you highlight accessibility and usability needs but also help you add validity to your accessibility audits.

At BarrierBreak, we provide comprehensive accessibility testing solutions ensuring compatibility with accessible standards and guidelines. We test to the principles like perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users including persons with disabilities and work with WCAG 2.0, KWAG, ADA and Section 508.
