Forbes Features TestParty on Accessibility 100 List

Forbes Accessibility 100

TestParty was featured earlier this week on Forbes' Accessibility 100 list. This is a testament to the years of work and hours of effort our team has put into building TestParty to be the best automated remediation tool for digital accessibility, to assist manual testing vendors, and to build a more accessible internet.

Forbes’ first-ever Accessibility 100 highlights the biggest innovators and impact-makers in the field of accessibility for people with disabilities. Some, like Apple and Google, make ubiquitous devices that introduce new and vital accessibility features year after year. Others are less visible companies and individuals whose work and innovations are revolutionizing how people with wide ranges of disabilities can communicate, learn, travel and enjoy lives as full as anyone else’s. Often, these inventions affect people beyond those with disabilities: if you’ve ever rolled a stroller over a sloped curb, watched closed captions or used an electric toothbrush, you can thank disability R&D.

Many programs will tell you that your website, mobile app or PDF isn't accessible to someone with disabilities. But many don’t tell you how to fix it. TestParty fills that gap. "We have this automated scanner, like spellcheck for accessibility, that reads your code as you're writing it or reads code that you've already written," says cofounder Michael Bervell. "It finds problems and fixes the problems." In 2024, he sent an email from his personal account after TestParty was finished and immediately heard back from companies like Delta, Verizon and Progressive. Today, Bervell estimates that $500 million in online transactions are now accessible each year as a result of TestParty's work. "Only 3% of websites are accessible," he says. "Why is it not 50%? If I told you that the market size for growth was 97% and only 3% had been tapped, you would be sprinting to it. It's really strange to me."
