A Practical Guide to Automated Accessibility

Automated accessibility testing has become the norm to bringing accessibility into the development lifecycle. As great as it is to have accessibility in the day to day development, many of the teams that adopt these tools and testing frameworks are overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and do not know where to start.

In this talk, we will help clear the confusion and give you the knowledge to effectively use automation in the day to day web development. We will cover accessible linting, accessibility testing libraries and how to include them in your UI test cases. Finally, we will discuss creating accessibility regression tests that can further enhance and ensure accessible content.
