summary

Shows concrete tools and steps: run x-core tests in an Azure DevOps pipeline (demo runs 53 automated checks), use the Accessibility Insights Chrome/Edge extension and its fastpass quick scan (covers ~25 automated checks), or add Immersive Reader as a low‑cost cognitive accessibility service. Cites persona spectra (1+ billion people with needs, ~3 billion including friends/family), a 400‑point full WCAG checklist, and practical patterns for shifting accessibility left into CI/CD.
