How to Use the Accessibility Agent Skill to Run WCAG Tests

TestMu AI's accessibility agent skill is an instruction pack in its open-source agent-skills repository that teaches AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot to add WCAG scanning to an existing Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress suite already running on TestMu AI's cloud grid, by turning on a shared accessibility capability rather than installing a separate testing tool.

Audit a Login-Gated or SSO-Protected App for Accessibility
Audit a Login-Gated or SSO-Protected App for Accessibility

Auditing a login-gated or SSO-protected app for accessibility means scanning the authenticated session itself, not the sign-in screen an anonymous request receives, since a URL-only scanner never gets past the login form or its SSO redirect. TestMu AI's Accessibility MCP Server audits that signed-in session instead, reached through a tunnel or an already-authenticated automated test.

Accessibility Testing in CI/CD Pipelines: A Compliance Guide
Accessibility Testing in CI/CD Pipelines: A Compliance Guide

Accessibility testing integrates with CI/CD pipelines by layering ESLint's jsx-a11y and jest-axe checks in early development, CLI scanners like Pa11y-CI, Axe-core CLI, and Lighthouse in build pipelines, and E2E scans through Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium alongside functional tests, exporting SARIF or JUnit results. Thresholds gate merges while production monitoring catches regressions post-deploy for continuous compliance.
