    Assessment Methodology

    SSB BART Group uses a proprietary testing methodology to analyze the accessibility of your organization's hardware devices. Testing includes four separate analyses:
    • End-user Analysis - SSB BART Group conducts testing by people with disabilities using leading Assistive Technologies (AT). Prior to testing, SSB BART Group works with your organization to identify functional tasks performed on your software application such as entering data and searching for results. Technologists with disabilities execute test cases using relevant assistive technologies and provide structured feedback. This testing allows your organization to determine the usability of the application for people with disabilities.
    • Manual Review Analysis - SSB BART Group's Accessibility Experts use a proprietary checklist to manually review screens and code captured from your organization's application. Manual tests help identify complex compliance violations and the most efficient accessibility fixes.
    • Associated Software Analysis - SSB BART Group conducts comprehensive testing on software associated with your hardware devices. Many hardware devices use device drivers and other software applications that must be made accessible if the hardware is to be usable by people with disabilities. SSB BART Group's analysis of associated software ensures that your organization's hardware achieves the appropriate level of accessibility.
    • Prioritization Analysis - All accessibility violations are analyzed and ranked based on their impact on users with disabilities, how difficult they are to correct, and how likely the violations are to be noticed. These metrics enable your organization to prioritize corrections and gain the highest possible return on investment for your efforts.
