A11y Automation Test Suite

An automated implementation of html5accessibility.com for Microsoft Edge.

Running

If you have Visual Studio, simply open A11y.sln and run.

Otherwise you can build and run in one step by calling run.ps1 within PowerShell.

Building and running manually

It's also possible to run manually without Visual Studio or PowerShell.

First navigate to the project's root directory and install nuget: powershell "(new-object net.webclient).DownloadFile('https://nuget.org/nuget.exe', 'nuget.exe')"

Then restore the packages: nuget.exe restore A11y.sln

Finally find MSBuild.exe, which comes pre-installed with the .NET framework. It will be in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder. For example: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe. Make sure to use the version installed on your computer.

Use MSBuild to compile the solution: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<VERSION ON YOUR PC>\MSBuild.exe A11y.sln

Then just run the compiled program: bin\Debug\Microsoft.Edge.A11y.exe

Scores and reporting

For a full explanation of how scores are calculated, see html5accessibility.com.

After the tests have run, the results are printed to the console and saved in the root directory of the project with the name "scores.csv".
