Migrating Signet’s sites to Angular – an Accessibility Journey
summary
Signet migrates nine e-commerce sites to Angular, rewrites 39 design-system components and logs 783 JIRA stories with accessibility ACs, uses the aXe browser extension, aXe devtools and reports, Node Selenium WebDriver, Magenta Ally and Fable for user testing, and adds Angular CDK live announcer and focus-management services. A progress-stepper fix reduces extra swipes for screen readers; an acceptance criteria library standardizes ACs; automated scans plus manual testing produce measurable score improvements and a real cultural shift. Magenta Ally informs mobile and desktop criteria.
