30 Minutes or Less: The Magic of Automated Accessibility Testing

Demo shows automated audits catching missing labels and focus bugs before deploy and a protractor plugin that runs Chrome accessibility checks during end to end tests against a real browser rather than headless phantom. Command line audits use a11y CLI, unit tests assert ARIA and tabIndex behavior for custom controls, and the protractor plugin can call the Tenon API key or the Chrome accessibility devtools. Example app fixes make tests pass but the promised pizza never arrives.
