Use aXe Accessibility Engine in tests to ensure accessibility #9227
Description
It seems that we could use aXe in our tests to make sure that modifications don’t break accessibility.

@MorrisJobke @skjnldsv @juliushaertl @nextcloud/accessibility is this something we can add to our testing stack so it is run automatically?

Ref #9224 where I used the aXe browser extension – which was very useful.

We probably could add that to the ui-regression tests once merged. We have a real chromium running there, so we could just inject the axe scripts and check for accessibility errors on each page that is tested as well.

Thanks for that, way nicer then the WAVE extension. 👍

@juliushaertl is the ui-regression-tests merged meanwhile? Or what’s the issue number?
juliusknorr commentedon Jul 16, 2018
@jancborchardt I have it on my list for this week, since the new vue settings broke it somehow. But I can look into integrating aXe when I'm on it as well.

Is this still valid or do we already have other accessibility tests so that it isn't needed anymore?
juliusknorr commentedon May 20, 2021
Still would be good to have at some point

I started an attempt in text with @axe-core/playwright which works quite nicely:
