Testing the Accessibility of
Web Applications with QF-Test
QF-Test supports accessibility testing for web applications based on the WCAG guidelines (www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/ or www.wcag.com). The majority of these guidelines can be checked automatically. For this, QF-Test provides its own tests, as well as integration of the comprehensive accessibility library axe-core. QF-Test offers the following conveniences:
- Clear HTML reports and detailed QF-Test run logs
- Logging of faulty elements with extensive information and suggestions for troubleshooting
- Creation of screenshots with highlighted problematic elements for easy identification
10.0+ Prior to version 10, the provided accessibility tests were only accessible by calling procedures from the standard library, such as checkAxeRules. These tests can now be defined via the Accessibility Checks step using a YAML syntax. You can also configure settings for logging the results in the Accessibility Checks step.
Note The term a11y, used in the names of the procedures, is a commonly used abbreviation for accessibility (English: "Accessibility," "A" + 11 letters + "y").
