Find and Fix Your Accessibility Problems
summary
Accessibility is framed as an ongoing engineering task with legal urgency: the European Accessibility Act takes effect June 28, 2025 and can trigger fines (Ireland example €60,000 or jail) for affected businesses. Automation demo uses Cypress Accessibility with axe-core and Chrome DevTools to find missing labels, unlabeled buttons and decorative images; a single added label fixes many failures—one change fixes 50 page states—and automated scans catch about 30% of WCAG issues while letting teams shift left and prevent regressions via Cypress Cloud.
