axe-core in CI
A search page that was accessible last quarter can quietly break with one well-meaning style change. The only way to keep it accessible is to test it constantly, not once before a launch and never again. Keyspider runs axe-core against the fully rendered search page in the build pipeline on every release, and backs it with manual testing on major ones. An accessibility regression fails the build, same as a broken search result would.
How it works
Run on every build
When a release is built, axe-core scans the fully rendered search interface. Because it tests the real page after scripts run, it catches problems a markup-only check would miss.
Add human testing where it counts
Automated tools catch a large share of issues but not all of them. Major releases get hands-on testing with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and high-contrast mode.
Treat a regression as a defect
If a check fails, it's a bug with a severity, not a note for later. The same discipline that keeps search working keeps it accessible.
Use cases
Staying compliant between audits
An annual audit is a snapshot. Running axe-core on every release keeps the search page conformant on the other 364 days, when quiet changes usually introduce problems.
Confidence for your accessibility office
Your team can point to automated checks in the pipeline plus manual testing as evidence that accessibility is maintained, not assumed.
Fewer surprises at launch
Because issues surface release by release, there's no scramble to fix a pile of findings the week before a public rollout.
