What a joy it was to nerd out on mobile #Accessibility today at Knowbility AccessU! Thank you for all who joined and interacted! It was great day and great session and I am thankful for all who attended! Let’s make mobile apps accessible for all! #AccessU2024

Just pushed a new HTML summary report for axe-reporting-utils (v2.0.0) that takes multiple scans and puts them together for a summary report! Check it out! #Accessibility #A11y npmjs.com/package/axe-re…

I have had various reporting utilities I've used over the years in my automated #Accessibility examples. I finally decided to publish it into an NPM package. Is it perfect? probably not! But it does have couple simple reporting utils! npmjs.com/package/axe-re…

It is one of my favorite days of the year! The start of John Slatin's AccessU! For the 4th year in a row today I will be doing my 'Simplifying Mobile Accessibility" workshop. Could not be more excited to get this kicked off today! knowbility.org/programs/john-… #A11y #Accessibility

For years i've been making examples of automated #Accessibility using axe-core and I have had various little reporting utils I have made to showcase the data. I have started to put them together in one spot. It's not ready yet for NPM but soon! github.com/Steady5063/axe…

I am finding more and more that the iOS Snapshot library is SUPER power for #Accessibility testing the more i mess with it. You can literally see the #A11y tree for an application and find if it changes overtime to identify issues really quickly. dev.to/steady5063/acc…

One of the things I have been jamming with lately, is how much developers can write regression tests to ensure their content REMAINS accessible. It is really powerful what you can do. One of the most simple ones i have is modals: github.com/Steady5063/Aut… #Accessibility #A11y

Hello everyone! 👋 The 210th issue on #SoftwareTesting is out. 👉 softwaretestingnotes.substack.com/p/issue-210-so… Great articles and resources by @Steady5063, @traxdata88, @filip_hric and more ! 👏 #QA #testing

Want to get some automated #Accessibility testing for your iOS application? Then make use of the XCUI testing library that uses the same rule as the #A11y inspector in XCode and build better regression tests! #DEVCommunity #iOS #Mobile dev.to/steady5063/acc…

Thought we were no more wars??? What happened?

Messing with some interesting stuff today. Puppeteer has an accessibility snapshot option. Its really cool that a testing framework lets you see the whole #Accessibility tree and you can write tests off of it. So dope! #A11y #Testing #Automation pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.…

When it comes to automated #Accessibility, a lot of teams will go the simple route, like Axe. Did you know that in #PlayWright you can take your #A11y testing further? Check it out! #DEVCommunity @ThePracticalDev dev.to/steady5063/acc…

It's #ValentinesDay, a day to celebrate things we love. Here in the #BlindNewWorld, #accessibility, #inclusion, #advocacy and our community are at the top of the list. ❤️

Automated #Accessibility Example Library has been updated again! 🎉 I'm showcasing some of the testing frameworks #A11y capabilities, starting with Playwright assertions! 3 unique assertions that allow you to get more robust regression testing! github.com/Steady5063/Aut…

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

The Big Ten has been and is the premier conference in College Football.

The big ten Is the best football conference. 3 straight different national champions!! Unreal.

Let’s go birds!

Enforcing the usage of semantic/native elements as part of your dev lifecycle makes cleaner code and helps with #Accessibility. If you want to build better devs, start with the basics. Using semantic/native elements and enforcing those practices!!
