accessibility-testing

Review and add automated accessibility checks for components, pages, and continuous integration workflows. Use axe-based tools to detect structural and attribute issues, while identifying checks that still need keyboard or screen reader testing.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when reviewing component libraries, page flows, or CI pipelines that need repeatable accessibility checks. Automated testing is strongest at catching structural and attribute-level issues; it does not replace keyboard, screen reader, and manual UX testing.

Good for

  • Review accessibility coverage for shared components
  • Add accessibility checks to page flow tests
  • Run accessibility tests in CI
  • Identify checks that need manual validation

Include accessibility testing

Automated accessibility testing catches 30-50% of WCAG violations before code reaches users—reducing legal risk and improving usability for everyone.

Quick Reference

  • Use jest-axe for component-level accessibility testing
  • Integrate @axe-core/playwright or cypress-axe for E2E a11y tests
  • Run accessibility tests in CI/CD to catch regressions early
  • Test specific WCAG rules like color-contrast individually

Check

Review this test suite for accessibility testing coverage using axe-core, jest-axe, or similar tools.

Fix

Add automated accessibility testing to detect WCAG violations in components and pages.

Explain

Explain how to implement automated accessibility testing and what issues it can detect.

Code Review

Inspect component tests, E2E suites, and CI workflows for automated accessibility coverage. Flag critical pages or shared components that ship without axe-based checks, and note issues that still require manual keyboard or screen reader validation.
