    In this project, you will design an open-source platform for automated digital accessibility testing, evaluate existing technologies, and develop an integrated system to meet the demands of accessible IT.

    Your role in the team

    • The federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and increasingly the private sector are required to use accessible IT. Based on open source, we aim to create an open platform that tests browser-based applications for digital accessibility.
    • There are numerous proprietary solutions on the market for automated testing of digital accessibility for publicly accessible websites. In contrast, internal browser-based applications and specialized procedures or documents can often only be tested with significant manual effort or using individual, separate tools.
    • Your task is to design the structure of a comprehensive, sovereign open-source solution for testing digital accessibility. The goal is to evaluate existing open-source components and develop an integrated concept or prototype that can be operated under the principle of 'Public Money - Public Code' and adapted and further developed to the specific requirements of the state.
    • As a result, an architecture concept, a proof of concept, or a prototype accessibility dashboard can be developed.
