SDK helps developers find and fix
accessibility issues before they are visible to the public
TUCSON,
Ariz., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AudioEye,
Inc. (Nasdaq: AEYE) ("AudioEye" or the "Company"), the
industry-leading digital accessibility company, today announced the
general availability of its Accessibility Testing Software
Development Kit (SDK). This self-service accessibility testing tool
helps developers address accessibility issues early in the software
development life cycle, allowing them to publish web content that
is accessible to people with disabilities.
"Achieving full-scale digital accessibility requires a
three-pronged approach: automation, human-assisted technology, and
developer tools," said David Moradi,
CEO of AudioEye. "With our SDK offering, we're empowering
organizations to take a proactive approach to their website
accessibility by equipping developers with the tools they need to
prioritize accessibility from the outset. By integrating the SDK
into our suite of tools, we are reinforcing our commitment to
helping our customers achieve comprehensive accessibility and
usability for all their customers."
The SDK employs the same automated test logic utilized by
AudioEye's accessibility experts during customer site audits and
automated monitoring. This process allows organizations to catch
and address issues earlier in the software development life cycle
(SDLC) process, preventing surprises in production with unresolved
accessibility issues and reinforcing consistency in overall issue
detection.
"Ensuring our code is accessible is just one of many tasks our
developers handle daily," said Rob
O'Neil, Senior Director of Product Management at Dealer.com.
"By integrating accessibility checks into the development process
using the SDK, we can streamline our workflow and proactively
address issues before they affect users."
The SDK rules are informed by a large amount of proprietary data
and are designed to bridge the gap for developers who may have
varying levels of accessibility awareness and limited time to
become experts. The automation provided by the SDK saves
organizations valuable time as developers no longer need to verify
accessibility issues manually amidst their numerous other
deployment tasks. The increased efficiency allows development teams
to focus more on innovation and enhance other user experience
areas.
"AudioEye's digital accessibility platform is customizable so
businesses have multiple options for scale and compliance," said
John Postlethwait, SVP of
Engineering at AudioEye. "If developers have time and resources to
fix barriers at the source, then the SDK provides a flexible way to
support different types of testing in pre-production environments.
If resources are limited, then AudioEye can remediate issues on
behalf of the client, prioritizing issues by impact and severity.
We work with each customer to determine a comprehensive solution
that meets their business' operational needs and accessibility
objectives."
The SDK integrates seamlessly into developers' workflows and
continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes,
automatically scanning for issues with each deployment. This
framework ensures that each update aligns with accessibility
standards.
