Accessibility Automation on Jest
Quick start guide to integrate BrowserStack Accessibility Automation with Jest
Pre-requisites
- You have an account with BrowserStack (even free trial works) and can get the username and access key from Account & Profile.
- You have a pre-existing Jest based test suite.
Integrate with Accessibility Automation
Follow the steps below to get started with adding Accessibility Automation to your test suite:
Install the latest version of the BrowserStack SDK
Install (or update) the browserstack-node-sdk npm package as shown below:
BrowserStack SDK is a very powerful tool which you can use to set the different browser/device combinations and parallelization. For more details, check out the Automate Integration guide.
Make changes to the SDK config file
If you’ve installed the browserstack-node-sdk for the first time, you’ll have to create the browserstack.yml file shown below. Else, just verify that your config file has all the required key-value pairs.
Specifically, make sure to add the accessibility flag at the end of the browserstack.yml file.
Create the browserstack.yml file in the root folder of your test suite if it doesn’t exist.
The projectName and buildName config must be static and not change across different runs of the same build. This is a deviation in approach as specified by BrowserStack Automate since Accessibility Automation will automatically identify different build runs.
Accessibility testing will only run on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 95 & above on Automate.
Run your suite with BrowserStack Accessibility Automation
Prepend browserstack-node-sdk to the existing command that you use to trigger a run as shown below and data will automatically start getting sent to BrowserStack Accessibility Automation.
You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Accessibility Automation dashboard.
