Lucky Nkosi: A11y Beyond the Theory: Integrating Accessibility Testing into Your Workflow
summary
Claims that about 15–20% of users have digital accessibility needs and that automated tools only catch roughly 40% (or up to 60% per Deque) of issues. Shows concrete tooling and integrations: Lighthouse and WAVE audits, axe DevTools and jest-axe, Pa11y + Pa11y Dashboard, Pa11y CI to fail pull requests, Puppeteer for local tests, Figma plugins (Able, Contrast Checker, Focus Order) for designers. Demonstrates a working CI gate and Husky pre-commit checks and explains limits that require manual/user testing.
