WPT automatic testing for platform accessibility mappings
Improve testing of platform a10y support in Web Platform Tests
In order to support assistive technology (AT), web browsers must provide information about web pages' contents via OS-specific accessibility APIs. The Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) suite of standards includes specifications concerning how browsers should translate the web page contents into each supported API. To date, these Accessibility API Mapping (AAM) specifications have not been tested in a standard way across browsers. This project will help extend the primary test suite for web standards (https://web-platform-tests.org/) to allow for testing of accessibility APIs. The project also includes writing tests for the Linux accessibility API mappings. With these addition to the test suite, we will be able to find interop bugs between browsers and web developers will be able to understand the status of browser support for accessibility features they want to use on the Linux platform.
