We now support the Playwright framework for automated web accessibility testing that allows you to integrate accessibility checks into your test suites. With Playwright accessibility automation, you can automate tests for issues like color contrast and missing ARIA attributes, ensuring your websites and web apps are more accessible. 

You can also run these tests on various browsers and devices using the LambdaTest platform, making it easier to identify and address accessibility issues.
