What is Watcher?
The Watcher package lets you easily integrate accessibility testing into your existing test suite. These are the available packages:
- A Node.js package available on npmjs.com for JavaScript and TypeScript developers
- A Java package available on Maven Central.
The Watcher package, when integrated into your end-to-end test suite:
- Adds accessibility validation to your existing test suite with minimal code changes by wrapping your test framework's important methods and function calls.
- Automatically analyzes web pages when you run your test suite and re-analyzes the pages upon detection of any change to the DOM (each change is considered a separate page state)--perfect for single-page web apps and other complex sites with login pages and other dynamic content.
- Links Git commits to accessibility results to let you evaluate the accessibility of each commit and monitor your project's overall accessibility progress.
- Sends accessibility results tied to each page state and Git commit to Axe Developer Hub, where the results are tracked, de-duplicated, and presented.
