Code Review Checklist

When reviewing accessibility code, focus on these aspects:

WCAG Compliance & Standards

  • Images have meaningful alt text or empty alt=”” for decorative images
  • Form controls have associated labels via <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby
  • Page has proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3, no skipping levels)
  • Color is not the only means of conveying information
  • Text can be resized to 200% without horizontal scroll or functionality loss

WAI-ARIA Implementation

  • ARIA roles are used appropriately (avoid overriding semantic HTML)
  • aria-expanded is updated dynamically for collapsible content
  • aria-describedby and aria-labelledby reference existing element IDs
  • Live regions (aria-live) are used for dynamic content announcements
  • Interactive elements have proper ARIA states (checked, selected, disabled)

Keyboard Navigation & Focus Management

  • All interactive elements are keyboard accessible (Tab, Enter, Space, Arrow keys)
  • Tab order follows logical visual flow without unexpected jumps
  • Focus indicators are visible with sufficient contrast (3:1 minimum)
  • Modal dialogs trap focus and return to trigger element on close
  • Skip links are provided for main content navigation

Screen Reader Optimization

  • Semantic HTML elements are used appropriately (nav, main, aside, article)
  • Tables have proper headers (<th>) and scope attributes for complex data
  • Links have descriptive text (avoid “click here”, “read more”)
  • Page structure uses landmarks for easy navigation
  • Content order makes sense when CSS is disabled

Visual & Sensory Accessibility

  • Color contrast meets WCAG standards (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text, 3:1 UI components)
  • Text uses relative units (rem, em) for scalability
  • Auto-playing media is avoided or has user controls
  • Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion user preference
  • Content reflows properly at 320px viewport width and 200% zoom

Form Accessibility

  • Error messages are associated with form fields via aria-describedby
  • Required fields are indicated programmatically with required or aria-required
  • Form submission provides confirmation or error feedback
  • Related form fields are grouped with <fieldset> and <legend>
  • Form validation messages are announced to screen readers

Testing & Validation

  • Automated accessibility tests are integrated (axe-core, Pa11y, Lighthouse)
  • Manual keyboard navigation testing has been performed
  • Screen reader testing conducted with NVDA, VoiceOver, or JAWS
  • High contrast mode compatibility verified
  • Mobile accessibility tested with touch and voice navigation

Problem Playbooks

WCAG Compliance Violations

Common Issues:

  • Color contrast ratios below 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA)
  • Missing alt text on images
  • Text not resizable to 200% without horizontal scroll
  • Form controls without proper labels or instructions
  • Page lacking proper heading structure (H1-H6)

Diagnosis:

# Check for images without alt text
grep -r "<img" --include="*.html" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.vue" src/ | grep -v 'alt=' | head -10

# Find form inputs without labels
grep -r "<input\|<textarea\|<select" --include="*.html" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" src/ | grep -v 'aria-label\|aria-labelledby' | grep -v '<label' | head -5

# Check heading structure
grep -r "<h[1-6]" --include="*.html" --include="*.jsx" --include="*.tsx" src/ | head -10

# Look for color-only information
grep -r "color:" --include="*.css" --include="*.scss" --include="*.module.css" src/ | grep -E "(red|green|#[0-9a-f]{3,6})" | head -5

Prioritized Fixes:

  1. Minimal: Add alt text to images, associate labels with form controls, fix obvious contrast issues
  2. Better: Implement proper heading hierarchy, add ARIA labels where semantic HTML isn’t sufficient
  3. Complete: Comprehensive WCAG AA audit with automated testing, implement design system with accessible color palette

Validation:

# Run axe-core if available
if command -v lighthouse &> /dev/null; then
  lighthouse http://localhost:3000 --only-categories=accessibility --output=json --quiet
fi

# Run Pa11y if available  
if command -v pa11y &> /dev/null; then

fi

# Manual validation steps
echo "Test at 200% browser zoom - verify no horizontal scroll"
echo "Test at 320px viewport width - verify content reflows"
echo "Disable CSS and verify content order makes sense"

Resources:

Form Accessibility

Common Issues:

  • Error messages not associated with form fields
  • Required fields not indicated programmatically
  • No confirmation after form submission
  • Fieldsets missing legends for grouped fields
  • Form validation only visual without screen reader support

Testing and Automation (2025 Updates)

Automated Tool Comparison:

  • Axe-core: Most comprehensive, ~35% issue coverage when combined with Pa11y
  • Pa11y: Best for CI/CD speed, binary pass/fail results
  • Lighthouse: Good for initial assessments, performance correlation

Integration Strategy:

# Set up Pa11y for fast CI feedback
npm install --save-dev pa11y pa11y-ci

# Configure axe-core for comprehensive testing
npm install --save-dev @axe-core/playwright axe-core

# Example CI integration
echo "# Add to package.json scripts:"
echo "\"test:a11y\": \"pa11y-ci --sitemap http://localhost:3000/sitemap.xml\""
echo "\"test:a11y-full\": \"playwright test tests/accessibility.spec.js\""

Manual Testing Setup:

# Install screen readers
echo "Windows: Download NVDA from https://www.nvaccess.org/download/"
echo "macOS: Enable VoiceOver with Cmd+F5"
echo "Linux: Install Orca with package manager"

# Testing checklist
echo "1. Navigate with Tab key only"
echo "2. Test with screen reader enabled"
echo "3. Verify at 200% zoom"
echo "4. Check in high contrast mode"
echo "5. Test form submission and error handling"

Resources:

Runtime Considerations

  • Screen Reader Performance: Semantic HTML reduces computational overhead vs. ARIA
  • Focus Management: Efficient focus trap patterns prevent performance issues
  • ARIA Updates: Batch dynamic ARIA updates to prevent announcement floods
  • Loading States: Provide accessible loading indicators without overwhelming announcements

Safety Guidelines

  • Use semantic HTML before adding ARIA attributes
  • Test with real assistive technology, not just automated tools
  • Never remove focus indicators without providing alternatives
  • Ensure all functionality is available via keyboard
  • Provide multiple ways to access information (visual, auditory, tactile)
  • Test with users who have disabilities when possible

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  1. ARIA Overuse: “No ARIA is better than bad ARIA” – prefer semantic HTML
  2. Div Button Syndrome: Using <div onClick> instead of <button>
  3. Color-Only Information: Relying solely on color to convey meaning
  4. Focus Traps Without Escape: Implementing keyboard traps without Escape key support
  5. Auto-Playing Media: Starting audio/video without user consent
  6. Accessibility Overlays: Third-party accessibility widgets often create more problems
  7. Testing Only with Tools: Automated tools catch ~35% of issues – manual testing essential

Emergency Accessibility Fixes

For critical accessibility issues that need immediate resolution:

  1. Add Skip Links: <a href="#main" class="skip-link">Skip to main content</a>
  2. Basic ARIA Labels: Add aria-label to unlabeled buttons/links
  3. Focus Indicators: Add button:focus { outline: 2px solid blue; }
  4. Form Labels: Associate every input with a label element
  5. Alt Text: Add descriptive alt attributes to all informative images
  6. Live Regions: Add <div aria-live="polite" id="status"></div> for status messages

These fixes provide immediate accessibility improvements while planning comprehensive solutions.
