Towards User-Focused Cross-Domain Testing: Disentangling Accessibility, Usability, and Fairness

Fairness testing is increasingly recognized as fundamental in software engineering, especially in the domain of data-driven systems powered by artificial intelligence. However, its practical integration into software development may pose challenges, given its overlapping boundaries with usability and accessibility testing. In this tertiary study, we explore these complexities using insights from 12 systematic reviews published in the past decade, shedding light on the nuanced interactions among fairness, usability, and accessibility testing and how they intersect within contemporary software development practices.
