End-to-end accessibility testing Integrate accessibility checks into your end-to-end tests
Validate accessibility across user workflows and ensure production readiness.
Integrate accessibility testing into your end-to-end tests with ease
Visibility
Instantly see which standard or WCAG level was tested against, identify what failed and why, and confidently fix any issues.
Flexibility
Add accessibility testing to your suite with quick configurations, or build custom scan workflows using our APIs and SDKs.
Control
Set accessibility thresholds and automatically block pull requests so only accessible code makes it through.
Catch accessibility issues before they ship
Prevent regressions early
Catch accessibility issues before they reach production by integrating accessibility testing directly into your end-to-end frameworks and pre-commit checks. Teams can identify problems earlier in development, reduce costly fixes, and ensure each release is compliant.
Add accessibility checks to your tests
Integrate accessibility checks into every stage of your CI/CD pipeline, including feature branches and pull requests. Simple configuration lets you add accessibility checks to existing tests, validating your app’s fully rendered state without slowing development.
Track results and enhance collaboration
Give teams shared visibility into accessibility results to streamline collaboration. Track progress over time and demonstrate measurable improvements as issues are resolved throughout the end-to-end testing lifecycle.
Enable high-velocity accessibility testing for web and mobile
E2E web accessibility testing
Integrate automated accessibility testing seamlessly into your end-to-end web testing and CI workflows with just a simple configuration change, or leverage flexible APIs and CLI tools that you can adapt to your unique end-to-end tests.
E2E mobile accessibility testing
Add automated accessibility testing into your end-to-end tests in Appium or native testing frameworks like XCUI, Espresso, or UI Automator with iOS and Android SDKs to test every build and app with precision.
“Having tools that allow you to automate the scans and integrate them into your build process helps a lot because you don’t have to rely on somebody remembering to do it as part of your release process– it just happens automatically.”

Frequently asked questions
What is end-to-end testing?
End-to-end (E2E) software testing is a method that simulates a complete user journey, from start to finish, to verify that all components of a system work together as expected in a production-like environment. It validates the entire application flow, including the user interface (UI), which is particularly important for accessibility testing.
Adding accessibility into end-to-end tests ensures that accessibility is incorporated into your development and QA processes at multiple stages, including pre-commit, local, pull request, and CI builds. This creates multiple checkpoints to catch issues early, preventing them from reaching production, and allowing you to ship accessible code with greater confidence and efficiency.
Why should I include accessibility in my end-to-end tests?
Digital accessibility is a critical part of your digital operations. As with security and performance, it is a requirement for legal compliance, customer engagement, competitive advantage, and corporate success. End-to-end tests check for accessibility on the rendered UI of your site or app as a user would encounter it. This allows you to validate the entire user journey. Incorporating accessibility testing into your end-to-end frameworks enables you to find and fix these issues earlier in development, when it’s easier, less costly, and less time-consuming.
