Hi Susmitha,

Please determine the testing policy it is good to use screen reader
and browser combination such as NVDA with Chrome / Firefox and JAWS
with IE 11.
Please also include VoiceOver on iOS and Talkback on Android as well.

It is good to set the internal testing standards based on the WCAG and
ARIA best practices.

Note: Just testing with screen reader alone will not make the
application accessible as there are different needs for people with
different disabilities so it is good to base your accessibility on
WCAG.

Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
