We are excited to announce the general availability of Automated Tests, the automation package within our Accessibility Testing product. It's purpose-built to make accessibility testing automation effortless, empowering you to achieve faster & stress-free web accessibility.
Automating accessibility testing is as beneficial as automating functional tests, if not more so. However, existing methods of automating accessibility testing are often inadequate and inefficient, leaving teams to struggle with:
😓 Large effort required to integrate accessibility testing into test builds
😠 High volume of duplicate issues
😕 Prioritizing debugging among thousands of issues
🔍 Traceability of accessibility issues
📓 Creating accessibility-focused reports
⏳ High maintenance overhead
Automated Tests by BrowserStack Accessibility Testing puts an end to all these struggles. It is your superpower for streamlining the entire accessibility testing cycle. Integrable with your builds in seconds, it saves hours of strenuous effort otherwise spent manually inserting static analyzers into test cases. This also means you’re spared from the extensive maintenance overhead that typically accompanies any build changes!
And that's not all— all accessibility-focused build reports are conveniently accessible on the reporting dashboard, empowering you to maintain a firm grip on your website’s accessibility while enhancing debugging capabilities.
