Has anyone implemented Google’s Lighthouse or similar (e.g. sitespeed.io) into their automation suite?
Have you got any pros or cons that others should be aware of if they’re trying something similar?

I haven’t used it yet, looking forward to seeing people’s comments. It looks very neat and I might try it out later!
Hey! I have tried to implement Lighthouse but had an issue.
The system I work on throws a popup almost everytime you load it (for authentication) and I cant get the lighthouse report to go past this popup.
So the only advice I can give so far is if your system has similar behavior you might struggle.

Funnily enough, I’ve just started adding Lighthouse audits to our automated suite this week!
@jacktaylortester are you using basic authentication? I had the same issue in my testing and found you can use this command in the CLI to run the reports that way
[lighthouse https://username:password@example.domain.com].
I’ve been using Cypress too and found you can extract data from each report if you download each as a HTML file - still a work in progress but it can be done!
My observations based on two experiences:
On Thursday March 11th Crystal Preston-Weston will give a presentation about Integrating accessibility into the testing process. Due to time zone differences I only had a look at her presentation.
On one of the slides she mentions the following blog post:
We’ve started playing with lighthouse and are looking to implement it in our CI suite. It’s already found some client side performance test issues and given us a backlog of accessibility issues to focus on fixing.
Still need to work on exactly how we integrate it, but it’s a work in progress
