I've been working with Playwright e2e tests (End to End) in a number of projects lately. Playwright is a useful and justified abstraction in the testing workflow because: Playwright tests can be run interactively in vscode (with just bwrap sandboxing but unfortunately no VM isolation), Playwright tests can be run in a dedicated local browser or in a headless browser for example in a container on GitHub Actions (a CI Continuous Integration system that runs then tests and saves the output arti

facts automatically when any change is pushed to the source code repo), Playwright test can be recorded from an interactive browser session, and Playwright tests can be written by AI prompted to implement 100% branch test coverage with tests and e2e tests with {Playwright or Puppeteer} in {language}. And then there's the Computer Use model (and the need for process or full VM sandboxing e.g. with ai-sandbox) Find existing open source agent instructions and agent skills for UI/UX agents that could or should be adapted to a11y testing?

Visually impaired people are using a combination of regular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE11) and screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) [1]. There are differences in the output, but you can pretty much ignore them for the high level knowledge that you are looking for. You could check some articles [2], talks [3] or courses [4] to get the basic understanding of accessible development. [1] https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey8/#browsercomb...

The new W3C Payment Request API [4] makes it easy for browsers to offer a standard (and probably(?) already accessible) interface for the payment data entry screen, at least. There are a number of automated accessibility testing platforms. "[W3C WAI] Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools List" [5] lists quite a few. Can someone recommend a good accessibility testing tools?
