HyperExecute: Accessibility Testing Support for Selenium and Cypress

HyperExecute now supports Accessibility Testing for both Selenium and Cypress! This update enables you to ensure that your web applications comply with accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.2 AA.

Benefits of Accessibility Testing in HyperExecute

With this feature, you can seamlessly validate a range of accessibility issues to create more inclusive and user-friendly web applications. Here's how it benefits you:

  • Automated Issue Detection: Identify common accessibility problems such as missing alt attributes, incorrect ARIA roles, and insufficient color contrast—early in the development process.
  • Detailed Accessibility Reports: Receive comprehensive reports that pinpoint accessibility issues, with actionable recommendations for resolving them.
  • Improved Compliance: Ensure your applications adhere to critical accessibility guidelines like WCAG 2.2 AA or previous versions: WCAG 2.0 A, WCAG 2.0 AA, WCAG 2.1 A, WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.1 AAA, and WCAG 2.2 A, helping you avoid legal risks and create a better experience for all users.

How to Use:

  • For Selenium Users: To start accessibility testing with Selenium, you have to pass "accessibility", true capability in your test files.

📕 Check out our detailed guide on executing your accessibility tests using Selenium on HyperExecute.

  • For Cypress Users: To start accessibility testing with Cypress, you have to pass accessibility: true capability in the cypressOps flag of your YAML file as well as update other necessary configurations in your project.

📕 Follow our step-by-step documentation to set up and run accessibility checks in Cypress v10 or Cypress v9 on HyperExecute.
