Automated Accessibility Testing by Anna Maier

New laws in the EU require many digital products to be accessible from June 2025 on. One of the biggest problems when building an accessible product: testing. Many things have to be checked by hand because the automated testing tools only have limited coverage. However, we developers like to have a safety net of automated tests in our CI-pipeline. How can we achieve this for accessibility?In this talk, I will give you the tools you need to better secure your product in terms of accessibility. We will start by learning about automated tools and their possibilities and limitations. Then, we will look at strategies for writing your own tests with common test frameworks. Finally, we will look at what AI can do for us in this regard.
