Automating Accessibility Assurance
summary
Shows a concrete toolkit that catches accessibility defects early: ESLint accessibility plugins flag missing alts, unlabeled form controls, bad ARIA and keyboard support at compile time; Testing Library + user-event writes unit tests that assert roles, accessible names, focus behavior and form submission; and axe-core with Cypress injects Axe into a running app for page-structure and ARIA violations. Example CI pipeline uses GitHub Actions to run lint, unit and e2e checks and block PR merges until regressions are fixed.
