Contract web accessibility testing involves hiring external specialists to evaluate and ensure that a website or web application is usable by people with disabilities, according to standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These testers assess websites for barriers that might impede users with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments. They provide detailed reports on issues found and recommendations for making the site more accessible.
