Accessibility Audit Agent

6 Steps

1. 1

   Set up the Environment: Install necessary libraries. This example uses `axe-core` for accessibility testing and `jsdom` for DOM manipulation. You'll also need a way to store and track results (e.g., a simple JSON file or a database).

2. 2

   Create the Audit Function: Define a function that takes HTML content as input, uses `axe-core` to perform an accessibility audit, and returns the results. Configure `axe-core` to target WCAG 2.2 AA standards.

3. 3

   Implement Remediation Suggestions: Extend the audit function to provide remediation code snippets for identified violations. This requires mapping specific `axe-core` violation IDs to corresponding code fixes. A simple example is provided; a comprehensive solution requires a more extensive mapping.

4. 4

   Prioritize Issues by Learner Impact: Assign severity levels (e.g., 'critical', 'major', 'minor') to each violation based on its impact on learners. This can be based on WCAG success criteria levels (A, AA, AAA) or a custom impact assessment.

5. 5

   Generate Section 508 Compliance Report: Create a function to format the audit results into a Section 508 compliance report. This report should include a summary of violations, their severity, remediation suggestions, and the WCAG success criteria violated.

6. 6

   Integrate and Automate: Integrate the audit function into a workflow that automatically scans new or updated content. This could involve a CI/CD pipeline, a scheduled task, or a web service endpoint. Store the audit results over time to track compliance posture.
