In TestComplete, there are existing Web Accessibility Checkpoint items. However, they are just a start to what should be checked for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. This request is to expand the Web Accessibility Checkpoints to include many additional items that should be checked within a web page (e.g. aria attributes, table cell scope, reading contrast, etc). For what could be checked, please review Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and in particular the WCAG 2.1 specification. That's a pretty big document and many things could be implemented. In the event that it's out-of-scope to try and implement a web accessibility checker within the TestComplete tool, consider providing support for external tools (e.g. pa11y) that can be called from TestComplete. As we have our application's functionality exercised in TestComplete scripts, we would like TestComplete to drive the test script and either have a Web Accessibility tool be part of TestComplete, or allow it be called from within TestComplete. SmartBear suppot has suggested that we could code the checks ourselves in Javascript or write an extension using the SDK but both of those are well out-of-scope for what we can support on our projects.
