Accessibility Check For Styled Text Editor Components

Hi Everyone,

We need to manually validate the accessibility of a few styled text editor components before enabling the document export. While this can be done using browser extensions or accessibility testing tools, the client wants to perform the check within Appian.

I would appreciate any insights on whether there are any Appian community-supported plugins or reliable APIs that can help achieve this.

Thanks!

As far as I know, Appian doesn’t have built-in tools or community-supported plugins specifically for accessibility testing. However, you can try integrate external tools into your Appian development process. One option is using the Selenium API, which is primarily for automated and functional testing. You could try combining it with Axe or Google Lighthouse to programmatically evaluate your components' accessibility.

Beyond that, not many other solutions come to my mind. While using Chrome or Edge with JAWS could help, it is a browser extension, which won’t fit your use case. Following Appian’s accessibility guidelines might be the best approach to ensure compliance and give the client confidence.

Thanks for your response! In addition to the testing tools and browser extensions, I am looking for the API(s) that were used to implement this in Appian.
