Overview

About 20% of the global population suffers from some form of disability and a large part of the World Wide Web (~97%) is not accessible to them. Infosys Accessibility Testing Tool (iATT) is a web application that addresses this issue and enables enterprises to plan their web accessibility strategy while fulfilling legal, economic, as well as corporate social responsibility. The tool, recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), helps enterprises charter into a territory that has remained predominantly untouched over the years, thereby increasing the company’s reach and its user base, along with attaining better compliance to governmental regulations.
