axe DevTools for Web Configuration for C#
Configuration information and sample code for axe DevTools for Web for C#
This article describes how to configure axe DevTools for Web for C#.
Step 1: Declare the Selenium driver to use while running tests in the C# setup.
[SetUp]
public void Setup()
{
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://abcdcomputech.dequecloud.com/");
}Step 2: Specify portions of the page to include or exclude from testing.
/*
* TestCase: uses axe.Analyze() to scan the certain content on the page.
*/
[Test]
public void IncludingAndExcludingElements()
{
var axe = new AxeSelenium(driver).Excluding("#header").Including("#homecontent");
var results = axe.Analyze();
Assert.That(results.Findings.Violations.Count, Is.EqualTo(0));
}Step 3: Axe DevTools C# packages a version of the axe-core JavaScript library. Alternatively, provide your own copy through configuration.
The axe-core library expects your audit suite to be located in your project at: /config/axe-ruleset.json. Alternatively, you can specify the location by setting the AXE_RULESET_PATH environment variable, directly in configuration.
Step 4: Define rulesets or specific rules for a single accessibility check or for the entire test suite.
/*
* TestCase: uses axe.Analyze() to scan the page
* with specific ruleset, in this case 508
*/
[Test]
public void AccessibilityAnalyzeWith508Ruleset()
{
var axe = new AxeSelenium(driver).WithRuleset("508");
var results = axe.Analyze();
AxeReporting.CreateResultsOutput(results, "508-rules");
Assert.That(results.Findings.Violations.Count, Is.EqualTo(0));
}
/*
* TestCase: uses axe.Analyze() to scan the page
* with only the specified rules.
*/
[Test]
public void AccessibilityAnalyzeWithSpecificRules()
{
var axe = new AxeSelenium(driver).WithRules("heading-order", "link-name");
var results = axe.Analyze();
AxeReporting.CreateResultsOutput(results, "specific-rules");
Assert.That(results.Findings.Violations.Count, Is.EqualTo(0));
