Accessibility Element Scan

Accessibility element Scan is a module which annotates the missing voice over accessibility attributes for any screens of Native apps for both iOS and Android Platform.

Installation

Install Accessibility Scanner as a local dev dependency in your tested project: npm i accessibility-element-scan

Getting started with the Accessibility Scanner

Accessibility Constructor creates an instance of accessibility, which then exposes method to run and configure accessibility

const accessibility = require(‘accessibility-elements-scanner’); const annotatedImage = accessibility.scanAccessibiltyAttributes(screenName);

Usage with gherkin const accessibility = require(‘accessibility-elements-scanner’); Then(/^I scan the "(^"*)" screen for accessibility attributes/, async (screenName) => {

await accessibility.scanAccessibilityAttributes(screenName);

});

// Provides the screenshot of the given screen with annotations done on elements With missing voice over accessibility attribute

Pre-requisite:

1. Basic cucumber java script mobile automation framework
2. To save the Screenshots there should be a pre-populated folders by name elementScreenshots and IOSelementsScreenshots
3. Node version >= 14

Note:

This module is supported on all Android devices and on iOS it is supported on devices of display size >= 5.8 in

Why?

1. For web apps, there are many extensions/tools which are readily available in the market to identify the accessibility issues but for Native apps there are none
2. so, this package reduces the initial manual voice over testing efforts for couple of iterations, which works on both iOS and Android platform with single line of code
3. It scans the DOM of the element and provides annotation on the Screenshots whose accessibility attribute is missing.
