Grid Dynamics and Evinced Enter Into Long-Term Strategic Partnership to Drive Accessibility in Mobile App Development
September 23 2021 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GDYN) (Grid Dynamics), a
leader in enterprise-level digital transformation services and
solutions, and Evinced, the leading accessibility software company
specializing in providing automation to enterprise developers, have
entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate the
implementation of accessibility in the mobile app development
phase.
According to the World Health Organization, there are more than
1 billion people worldwide that live with some form of disability,
underscoring the critical importance of digital accessibility. In
recent years, a rise in web-related lawsuits under the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) has put tremendous pressure on
enterprises to make their digital assets accessible to people with
impairments.
Evinced has announced the launch of the industry's first
complete portfolio of products to enable enterprise developers to
weave accessibility into their iOS and Android mobile app
development process.
Offering the broadest range of coverage for mobile apps on the
market today, Evinced mobile accessibility solutions are built for
enterprise scale and can be used by any enterprise developer
looking to test a mobile app for critical accessibility issues.
“We at Grid Dynamics are extremely delighted to partner with
Evinced in enriching the ecosystem of accessibility tools,” says
Rajeev Sharma - CTO at Grid Dynamics.
“Evinced’s AI-powered platform provides a comprehensive
accessibility suite for web and mobile channels covering the entire
value chain of development, testing and accessibility compliance
analytics. Our synergetic partnership aims at a world in which
digital experiences are inclusive to those of us affected by
impairments and would otherwise remain beyond reach.”
The powerful combination of technology and products from Evinced
with engineering and implementation services from Grid Dynamics is
bringing transformation to native mobile and web app development by
providing:
- Developer and QA solutions: Easy testing on real devices or
simulators, local or in the cloud - with no SDK installation
- Automated testing: implementing accessibility in existing web
and mobile automated tests - web (Selenium, Cypress, Webdriver IO
etc.) and mobile (Appium, XCUITest, Espresso)
- Analytics: providing accessibility compliance solutions and
engineering leadership with organization-wide analytics insights
and visibility into accessibility progress throughout the software
development lifecycle -- from development to production
“Historically, the accessibility industry has been dominated by
small, specialized professional service providers that focused on
manual testing,” says Navin Thadani - CEO and Founder of Evinced.
“Now, corporations such as Grid Dynamics, which serves Fortune 500
companies, are becoming heavily involved as the industry is
transitioning from an exclusive manual testing approach to one
which is led by automation and technology.”
