Salesforce Accessibility Automation Libraries

Automated Accessibility Testing Libraries and Tools (@sa11y packages) based on axe-core providing support for Jest unit tests, WebdriverIO component/integration tests used by teams in Salesforce. However, they are not specific to Salesforce and can be used to test any UI supported by axe-core for accessibility. These libraries are designed to be flexible, customizable and reusable to support automated accessibility testing in different testing workflows from unit to integration tests.

A wise person once said…

"Don't talk to me until I've had coffee and you've run axe"
