New laws in the EU require many dig­i­tal prod­ucts to be acces­si­ble from June 2025 on. One of the biggest prob­lems when build­ing an acces­si­ble prod­uct: test­ing. Many things have to be checked by hand because the auto­mat­ed test­ing tools only have lim­it­ed cov­er­age. How­ev­er, we devel­op­ers like to have a safe­ty net of auto­mat­ed tests in our CI-pipeline. How can we achieve this for accessibility?

In this talk, I will give you the tools you need to bet­ter secure your prod­uct in terms of acces­si­bil­i­ty. We will start by learn­ing about auto­mat­ed tools and their pos­si­bil­i­ties and lim­i­ta­tions. Then, we will look at strate­gies for writ­ing your own tests with com­mon test frame­works. Final­ly, we will look at what AI can do for us in this regard.
