Description

Enhance your website's accessibility with automated testing and reporting. This guide walks you through the process of setting up and running accessibility checks across your site.  

Specifically, in his guide, Constantinos Evangelou details the process of automating accessibility testing across a website using Node.js, Eleventy, and Pa11y. He emphasizes that while automated testing offers valuable insights, it should complement, not replace, manual testing. The guide covers installing Pa11y, creating a script to run accessibility checks on multiple pages, and saving the results in a JSON file. Additionally, it explains how to integrate this process into a CI/CD pipeline and display the results on a dedicated accessibility page, enhancing transparency and user engagement.
