Hi all,

I'm doing some research into different methods for automatically testing
native mobile apps for accessibility. Has anyone here used IBM's AbilityLab
Mobile Accessibility Checker tool in a development environment, or seen it
in use? I understand this tool has to be licensed from IBM, so I can't
easily try it out myself. I'm interested to see what kinds of issues it
catches, and whether the feedback the tool gives users is useful.

(For those who are curious, here's a two-minute demo of IBM's tool on
YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDZk5ov_pWI>.)

Thanks,
-Caitlin
