Accessibility checks#

Note

April-2023: we are currently re-evaluating how we do accessibility checks and reporting, so this may change soon.

In general, accessibility-checking tools can find a limited number of common HTML patterns which assistive technology can’t help users understand.

Accessibility checks as part of our development process#

We run a Lighthouse job in our CI/CD, which generates a “score” for all pages in our Kitchen Sink example documentation. The configuration for Lighthouse can be found in the .github/workflows/lighthouserc.json file.

For more information about configuring Lighthouse, see the Lighthouse documentation. For more information about Accessibility in general, see Accessibility.

We have also recently added automated tests using Playwright and axe-core to improve our accessibility testing and reporting.
