Context

Accessibility is an extremely important aspect of web development, and ensuring a site is accessible is important to us. Axe by Deque is THE automated accessibility testing tool. Along with libraries specifically for unit testing (jest-axe) and integration testing (cypress-axe), it gives us the ability to monitor accessibilty at every step of the development process.

Decision

Install and use Axe tools (axe-core, jest-axe, cypress-axe) for automated accessibility testing in both unit, integration, and component tests.

Consequences

The Axe tools noted above will be installed as testing tools and will be available for developers when writing automated tests.
