I’m excited to share the newest blog post highlighting the latest features in the just released hot off the press wick-a11y v1.2.1 Accessibility Cypress plugin.
This version Includes:
-
Voice Support: Get audible feedback for accessibility issues at various levels (suite, test, violation type, and DOM element), helping you quickly identify and resolve them. -
Summary of Violations: A detailed summary in the Cypress Log, categorized by severity, providing a comprehensive overview of your website’s accessibility state.
Dive deeper into these features and learn how they can streamline your accessibility testing process in my latest article: WICK-A11Y Chapter 1.2.1 - Voice Support: The Accessibility Cypress Plugin that Talks More Than John Wick in His Movies - DEV Community 
When I was creating these new features, somebody asked me “But why add voice?”
The reason behind adding the voice capability to the plugin arose from a significant realization: many individuals working on testing website accessibility themselves suffer from disabilities. They are deeply invested in making the web more friendly, usable, and accessible for everyone.
I believed that adding this feature would at least provide some assistance to those individuals with disabilities, easing their work with a tool like wick-a11y and making their tasks a bit easier.
