Integrating Automated Accessibility Testing in Elixir Projects

Andrew Moore, an engineer at Launch Scout, presented the tool Excessibility, which enables automated accessibility testing for Elixir applications, especially focusing on LiveView applications. The tool ties into Elixir's testing framework, capturing snapshots of the Document Object Model (DOM) that can later be analyzed for WCAG compliance either locally or in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. Andrew, who has a visual disability, provided insights into common web accessibility issues and how Excessibility can help developers detect and fix such issues to make applications more accessible to users with disabilities.
