Figma plugin powered by BrowserStack’s proprietary Spectra™ Rule Engine, prevents up to 40% of accessibility issues before development even begins.
DUBLIN, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BrowserStack, the world’s leading software testing platform, today announced the launch of its Accessibility Design Toolkit, a Figma plugin that helps design teams build accessible products right from the design stage.
