Kosten für Nachbesserungen und Compliance-Rework
Definition
BFSG requires remediation of identified accessibility barriers before market deployment. Rework includes adding alt text to images, implementing keyboard navigation, correcting color contrast ratios, labeling form fields, and fixing heading hierarchies. Typical WCAG 2.1 AA remediation involves 5–15% of initial development effort. Complex web applications may require 100–300+ hours of rework. Post-rework regression testing adds 20–40% overhead. Delayed deployments incur opportunity cost and missed market windows.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 50–150 hours of developer/designer rework per product (€5,000–€22,500 @ €100/hour average German tech rate); 20–40% regression testing overhead
- Frequency: Per product deployment cycle; additional cycles for major feature updates or design refreshes
- Root Cause: Accessibility issues not caught during design/development phase; lack of accessibility testing integration in development workflow
