Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires federal agencies to comply with standards regarding the accessibility of their technology to users with disabilities. Beyond the legal requirement, providing accessible technology allows for a broader user base, and allows your organization to interact with customers and potential employees who would otherwise be out of reach. Despite its importance, Section 508 and accessibility are often misunderstood and are a frequent source of confusion for developers and customers alike.

Our extensive experience with testing has taught us that testing infrastructure matters. In order to maximize thoroughness and productivity, testers need technical and environmental configurations which enable and support their efforts. A poorly built lab is a drain on the testing process, creating unnecessary difficulties and pain points which interfere with the process. A well-built environment not only removes unnecessary obstacles from tester’s paths, it also allows them to build and use test processes which are optimized for the testing itself, rather than for getting testing done in a poorly-built and constrained environment. Good products require good testing and good testing requires good test infrastructure and setup. If these are things your enterprise needs, Gungchil can provide you with a high-quality solution tailored to your needs.
