How to Use Playwright for Automating Accessibility Testing
summary
Live demo shows a Playwright script that installs the axe engine plugin, opens a test site (paraban), runs accessibility scans across multiple workers and browsers, and dumps results as JSON or attaches them to other runners. The codewalk verifies specific failing rules: color contrast and missing alt text, and demonstrates disabling rules, adding WCAG filters, and failing tests when violations appear. Results export as an accessibility scan results JSON for developers to fix.
