Dear all,
I am testing a software which has a lot of accessibility issues. Few
edit fields and buttons are not labled. but there are some buttons
which are labled but the jaws is not reading it. I already rised this
query and one of the experts said that there must be some error in
coding. How do I tell this to developer and is there any other way to
find out those errors by myself? or is there any software for software
accessibility testing?
or is there any way to find source code?
thanks in advance!

Karthik,

That's way too much to answer in an email. I suggest you take advantage of the resources of the hosts of this mailing list to learn more about the technical requirements of accessibility and tools and techniques for testing them:

They also have created and support a very popular testing tool, WAVE. See the links at the bottom for the API and Chrome extension!
