Adobe Experience Manager Assets is a digital asset management system that allows users to create, manage, and deliver assets with blazing speed – all from a single platform for marketing, creative, and business teams.
Product testing involved use of leading assistive technology, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software, as well use of the keyboard. Native platform accessibility features were also used to assist with testing. These were supplemented with techniques such as manual inspection of Accessibility API output.
