SoftServe has been working for a long time for its customers on Accessibility Service, one of the types of software testing, which aims to make sure that the web-product, mobile application, etc. \u2013 are convenient for people with different types of disorders: vision, hearing, mentality, musculoskeletal. As soon as the ordinary end users of the product cannot give definitive conclusions about availability, because they often do not know what to look for, SoftServe decided to teach people with visual impairments to test and involve them in the company.<\/div>\n
\u201cAt SoftServe we care about diversity and inclusion and strive to make our products user-friendly for everyone. By involving visually impaired people to the development of IT solutions, testing our designs for usability by people with the same problems, we offer a new level of accessibility testing. At the same time, we have the opportunity to provide such people with important and interesting work, together with comfortable working conditions\u201d<\/em>says the QC engineer and coordinator of the Accessibility Testing group at SoftServe, Viktoriya Shyryayeva<\/strong>.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

As part of the Grains of Truth project of the International Charitable Foundation for the Development of the Holodomor Memorial, SoftServe pro bono has developed a fundraising platform for the project and launched a powerful ambassadorial program, which has already raised about 3 million UAH.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are extremely pleased to join projects of such importance and significance for the country. SoftServe provides its services mainly abroad, however, we feel the need to join local initiatives and make positive changes in Ukraine \u2013 in the communities where we work and live. That is why SoftServe is often a partner of various public organizations, which we help on a probationary basis with what we are strong at \u2013 to change the world for the better with the help of technology<\/em>, \u201dsaid Maria Kucherenko<\/strong>, Head of CSR and PR at SoftServe.<\/div>\n
