If you are working on an internal application you can test for compatibility with a specific set of hardware and software because your organization controls the environment. If you are building for the public there is not a way for you to detect feature support within the AT. The best approach is to follow the standards and test with the current release. JAWS, Window Eyes, and NVDA all have had very good support for ARIA for a few generations of the product cycle when it is supported by the browser.
