Automated a11y smoke

14 min · Module 20

Tools (axe, Lighthouse, pa11y) catch incomplete semantics—not all issues. Combine automation smoke with manual keyboard/AT sampling.

Example / notes

# Concept: run axe on /lab/app/ after login; fail CI on critical rules
# Still do manual keyboard pass each release

Practice in Lab: /lab/app/
