Slack的自动化无障碍测试

At Slack, customer love is our first priority and accessibility is a core tenet of customer trust. We have our own Slack Accessibility Standards that product teams follow to guarantee their features are compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Our dedicated accessibility team supports developers in following these guidelines throughout the development process. We also frequently collaborate with external manual testers that specialize in accessibility. 

在 Slack，客户的喜爱是我们的首要任务，而无障碍性是客户信任的核心原则。我们有自己的 Slack 无障碍标准，产品团队遵循这些标准以确保其功能符合 Web 内容无障碍指南 (WCAG)。我们专门的无障碍团队在整个开发过程中支持开发人员遵循这些指南。我们还经常与专门从事无障碍的外部手动测试人员合作。 

In 2022, we started to supplement Slack’s accessibility strategy by setting up automated accessibility tests for desktop to catch a subset of accessibility violations throughout the development process. At Slack, we see automated accessibility testing as a valuable addition to our broader testing strategy. This broader strategy also includes involving people with disabilities early in the design process, conducting design and prototype review with these users, and performing manual testing across all of the assistive technologies we support. Automated tools can overlook nuanced accessibility issues that require human judgment, such as screen reader usability. Additionally, these tools can also flag issues that don’t align with the product’s specific design considerations.

在 2022 年，我们开始通过为桌面设置自动化无障碍测试来补充 Slack 的无障碍策略，以在开发过程中捕捉一部分无障碍违规行为。在 Slack，我们将自动化无障碍测试视为我们更广泛测试策略的有价值补充。这一更广泛的策略还包括在设计过程的早期让残障人士参与，进行设计和原型审查，并在我们支持的所有辅助技术上进行手动测试。自动化工具可能会忽略需要人工判断的细微无障碍问题，例如屏幕阅读器的可用性。此外，这些工具还可能标记与产品特定设计考虑不一致的问题。

Despite that, we still felt there would be value in integrating an accessibility testing tool into our test frameworks as part of the overall, comprehensive testing strategy. Ideally, we were hoping to add another layer of support by integrating the accessibility validation directly into our existing frameworks so test owners could easily add checks, or better yet, not have to think about adding checks at...
