I want to integrate automated accessibility testing into our CI/CD pipelines to ensure continuous compliance. How can this be done efficiently, and which tools support it best?
We started by adding accessibility checks directly into our existing CI pipeline instead of treating them as a separate step. Using LambdaTest’s accessibility testing, scans run automatically after every build. This way, accessibility issues are caught early, just like functional bugs, instead of surfacing right before a release.
For quick checks during development, the LambdaTest Accessibility DevTools Chrome extension has also been really useful. It helps catch common issues early, even before the code reaches CI.
What worked well for us was running accessibility tests in parallel with our Selenium tests. LambdaTest made this easier since everything runs in the same pipeline. If a build fails due to critical accessibility violations, we block the merge and fix it immediately instead of piling up tech debt. You can perform automation accessibilty testing with LambdaTest as well.
Start small. We initially checked for high-impact WCAG violations only, then expanded coverage over time. LambdaTest’s reports are easy to understand, so developers actually paid attention to them instead of ignoring accessibility results like they used to.
