Accessibility Testing at Scale Powered by Appium
summary
Shows a practical path to run automated accessibility checks with Appium on cloud devices, using Appium scripts, Espresso/XCUITest hooks and Sauce Labs–style device farms to detect issues like touch targets and orientation. Key data: about 16% of people have significant disability, 90% of screen‑reader users are on mobile, and EAA effective June 28, 2025 forces compliance. A demo reads element bounds (example output 248x105), proves cloud tests work but flags simulator limits, pixel/DP math, and warns against overlay “fixes.”
