SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED TESTING OF AN ACCESSIBILITY FEATURE OF A USER DEVICE BY EMULATING ACTIONS OF USERS

Abstract:

A system for automating testing of an accessibility screen-reader for a software application includes an accessibility testing module. The accessibility testing module communicates a set of input commands to a user device in which the software application is installed. The set of input commands emulates a set of actions being performed on the software application. For each input command, an audio of a string of utterances is received when the accessibility screen-reader produces the audio. The audio is converted to a text of the string of utterances. The text is compared with a corresponding test string that is expected to be uttered by the accessibility screen-reader when a corresponding action is performed on the software application. If it is determined that the text matches the corresponding test string, it is concluded that the accessibility screen-reader uttered the corresponding test string that was expected to be uttered.
