Free Training Testing Accessibility of Apps

Testing mobile apps for accessibility requires a slightly different approach than testing websites.
In this free live session, you’ll learn how to test mobile apps with assistive technologies such as screen readers, external keyboards, and text-scaling — the same tools real users rely on every day.

You’ll discover the difference between automated, manual, and user testing, and learn a practical workflow you can use right away.

At Abra, we believe accessibility knowledge should be accessible too.
That’s why this training is free to join — to help more developers and testers build inclusive apps from the start.

  • 🕓 Duration: 90 minutes
