How Accessibility Testing Uncovers Invisible Usability Bugs

In this episode of Software Testing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore why accessibility testing should be a core part of your QA strategy, not an afterthought. They walk through a real-world example from a major e-commerce platform that discovered 40 percent of its checkout flow was unusable by screen readers after a routine redesign. The hosts discuss how automated accessibility checks catch only about 30 percent of violations, why manual testing with assistive technologies is essential, and how WCAG 2.2 guidelines translate into concrete test cases. They also cover practical tools like axe-core, Lighthouse, and screen reader pair-testing sessions that fit into CI/CD pipelines. By the end, you'll understand how accessibility testing reveals usability bugs that affect every user, not just those with disabilities.
