Accessibility testing with Cypress
Description
The European Accessibility Act began enforcement on June 28, 2025, and the U.S. DOJ's ADA Title II web-app rule has hard compliance dates in 2026/2027.
In this talk, I'll share real examples from projects where catching WCAG issues early saved a lot of time and money compared to fixing them late.
I'll provide examples of testing accessibility using lint rules, component-level accessibility checks (including Storybook), and UI-level validation. I'll also show how I test the real keyboard behavior e2e: TAB order, focus states, common navigation paths.
