Automated accessibility testing inside real user journeys

Accessibility should not be a separate checklist. It should be part of how you build and test your product.

DoesQA allows you to run automated accessibility audits directly inside your functional automation. That means you can validate compliance exactly where it matters: inside real user flows, with real data, and after real interactions.

Instead of scanning a cold URL, you test the experience your users actually see.

Validate after login, in checkout, and inside modals

Many accessibility issues only appear after interaction.

With DoesQA you can:

  • Validate post-login dashboards

  • Audit checkout and basket pages with products loaded

  • Test form validation states

  • Check modals and dynamically revealed content

  • Validate content after registration or account updates

Because accessibility nodes run inside your automated test flow, they operate on the live, fully rendered state of the page.

This is critical for modern applications built with heavy client-side rendering and dynamic UI components.

Multiple engines, one consistent workflow

DoesQA supports industry-recognised accessibility engines including:

  • axe

  • Pa11y

  • Lighthouse accessibility

Each can be embedded directly into your flow, giving you flexibility in how you validate compliance.

We consider Pa11y a gold standard. Our implementation allows you to validate UI elements that require in-page interaction to appear, such as modals, dropdowns, and conditional content.

Many standalone checkers cannot do this because they reload the page or scan a direct URL without preserving state.

Functional and non-functional testing, together

Accessibility is often treated as a separate process.

In DoesQA, it can live alongside your functional steps. You can:

  • Add accessibility checks to login flows

  • Include audits in purchase journeys

  • Combine them with visual regression and link validation

  • Control whether accessibility findings fail the run or raise warnings

This allows you to balance compliance goals with release velocity, without losing visibility.

Continuous accessibility, not one-off scans

By integrating accessibility testing into your automation:

  • Issues are caught earlier

  • Regressions are detected automatically

  • Compliance becomes part of your CI/CD process

  • Teams gain ongoing visibility rather than periodic reports

Accessibility testing becomes predictable and repeatable, rather than reactive.

Automate it. Measure it. Improve it continuously.
