Accessibility-as-Code: la compliance EAA nella pipeline CI/CD

Ensuring continuous accessibility compliance in a CI/CD pipeline poses a significant challenge for development teams. With the Drupal portal having successfully passed accessibility testing, the critical question remains: Is it still accessible six months and numerous releases later? Roberto Mariani addresses this pressing issue by likening the process to a job interview, where the pipeline itself is the candidate being evaluated.

Mariani advocates for a robust strategy that integrates tools like Playwright and axe into every merge request. This approach not only automates accessibility checks but also generates synthetic data to effectively separate code from content. By embedding accessibility checks directly into the development workflow, teams can proactively identify and resolve potential issues before they reach production, ensuring that the user experience remains inclusive and compliant.
