Exploring the (testing) pyramid
summary
Over 90% of top websites lack full accessibility and automated checks sit mostly at the end so projects slow and fixes land in production; a rebuilt pyramid puts ESLint/VS Code accessibility linter as static base, adds screen.getByRole assertions and unit tests for tab order, then end-to-end scans with axe with Cypress one-line check, catching roughly 60% of issues early, shrinking manual testing and delivering faster feedback and fewer costly production fixes.
