Slack prioritizes accessibility as a core value in their development process. To enhance their existing strategy, they introduced automated accessibility testing using Axe, integrated into their Playwright framework. Despite challenges with Jest and React Testing Library, they successfully embedded accessibility checks into their workflow. Customization and flexibility in tool usage, reporting, and environment setup enabled seamless execution. Regular audits and developer support through detailed documentation and streamlined processes helped maintain and improve test quality.
