Accessibility Testing
Table of Contents
Overview
Accessibility testing ensures web applications are usable by people with disabilities, including those using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies. It validates compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and identifies barriers to accessibility.
When to Use
- Validating WCAG 2.1/2.2 compliance
- Testing keyboard navigation
- Verifying screen reader compatibility
- Testing color contrast ratios
- Validating ARIA attributes
- Testing form accessibility
- Ensuring focus management
- Testing with assistive technologies
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
// tests/accessibility/homepage.a11y.test.ts
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
import AxeBuilder from "@axe-core/playwright";
test.describe("Homepage Accessibility", () => {
test("should not have any automatically detectable WCAG A or AA violations", async ({
page,
}) => {
await page.goto("/");
const accessibilityScanResults = await new AxeBuilder({ page })
.withTags(["wcag2a", "wcag2aa", "wcag21a", "wcag21aa"])
.analyze();
expect(accessibilityScanResults.violations).toEqual([]);
});
test("navigation should be accessible", async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto("/");
const results = await new AxeBuilder({ page }).include("nav").analyze();
expect(results.violations).toEqual([]);
});
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Test with real assistive technologies
- Include keyboard-only users
- Test color contrast
- Use semantic HTML
- Provide text alternatives
- Test with screen readers
- Run automated tests in CI
- Follow WCAG 2.1 AA standards
❌ DON'T
- Rely only on automated tests (they catch ~30-40% of issues)
- Use color alone to convey information
- Skip keyboard navigation testing
- Forget focus management in dynamic content
- Use div/span for interactive elements
- Hide focusable content with display:none
- Ignore ARIA best practices
- Skip manual testing
