Project Description:
eSSENTIAL Accessibility is a leading software accessibility testing and solutions company that strives to help make websites more accessible for all users. Currently, automated webpage testing is done through the ASLint bookmarklet. eSSENTIAL Accessibility wanted to expand its webpage testing solutions to offer a Chrome Extension Development Tool that could offer automated website testing, user flow recording, and facilitate manual testing all with one Chrome Extension.
Our project focuses on the automated testing portion of the Chrome Extension which automatically tests webpages against WCAG and eSSENTIAL Accessibility standards and displays the results in the Chrome Extension DevTool with the ability to download the report as a JSON file.
Through the development process, we have learned about Chrome Extension development, JavaScript, HTML, and web accessibility standards. We have also gained experience working in teams, both our automated testing team and the full chrome extension team.
Short Description:
The eA Web Accessibility testing toolkit allows users to automatically test webpages against accessibility standards.
