Automated Accessibility Testing with Act, X Core, Pytest, and Playwright

In this chapter, the speakers discuss the importance of measuring accessibility and introduce their work on creating tools for automated accessibility testing. They explain the use of Acts core, a JavaScript library, to analyze elements like tab order, missing alt text, visibility, and contrast, which is then returned as a Python dictionary. They also provide recommendations for getting started with accessibility testing using browser extensions and suggest addressing basic fixes first before considering automation for continuous accessibility checks.
