Automating Peace of Mind with Accessibility Testing and CI

GOTO Chicago 2017

Did you know that accessibility test coverage and continuous integration (CI) go hand-in-hand? Automated tests can catch roughly 30-50% of accessibility issues with minimal effort, depending on your rule set. Running tests automatically with a CI server can also programmatically prevent accessibility regressions from making it to production–a huge benefit for high-risk deployments and large teams. We’ll look at open source tools and accessibility testing practices that can help your team develop a pragmatic and sustainable approach to software, benefiting many people with disabilities.
