This October, we’re serving up a few treats for your testing toolkit, including a suite of accessibility improvements, and a convenient way to access Centercode Labs, a new space where you’ll find fun, experimental tools designed to make your day-to-day a little easier (and a little more fun!)

👻Accessi-boo-lity Improvements! 👻

This month we're rolling out a round of screen reader enhancements across key tester-facing areas of Centercode, including Menu Navigation, the Feedback List, Feedback View, Form Engine, Login, and Activities. These updates are entirely seamless, there’s nothing you need to configure! The platform simply works better for users who rely on screen readers. We’ve introduced improved tab order, landmark skipping, and more intuitive focus states, all of which provide meaningful audio context for page functions and actions. That means users with visual impairments can now navigate and engage with our platform more efficiently and with significantly less friction!

These enhancements not only improve accessibility for current users, they also support a wider range of test types, including Accessibility-focused testing programs. That means you can confidently include users with visual impairments in your projects, expanding your reach while maintaining a seamless experience. This is part of our ongoing investment in accessibility, and future developments will be built with these enhancements as a foundation. We’re actively welcoming feedback from screen reader users to help shape what comes next!

🧪Centercode Labs, just in time for mad science season! 🧪 

In keeping with the spirit of the season, we've got a fun treat for you this month! Centercode Labs is our playground for building small, interactive tools and toys designed to make product development a little easier (and sometimes a little more fun). Now you can check out the latest drops whenever you’re in the platform!
