Automated Testing
Strengths#
Often caught
- Images missing alt (when detectable)
- Buttons/links without accessible names
- Some contrast failures
- Invalid ARIA usage patterns
- Document/lang basics
Blind spots#
Often missed
- Focus order that is technically valid but illogical
- Wrong visible label meaning
- Custom widget keyboard models
- Whether announcements are useful
- Whether a workflow is understandable
Test
| Action | Expect |
|---|---|
Fail CI on serious rules | Known defects cannot merge unnoticed |
Triage noise | False positives do not train people to ignore reports |
Pair with manual | Critical flows still get keyboard/AT review |
