WCAG 2.1/2.2 Compliance Matrix

Level	Criteria Count	Status
Level A	25	✅ Covered
Level AA	13	✅ Covered
Level AAA	23	✅ Covered
Total	61

Key WCAG Principles (POUR)

1. Perceivable - Information must be presentable to users' senses
2. Operable - UI must be operable by all users
3. Understandable - Information and operation must be clear
4. Robust - Content must work with assistive technologies

Usage Examples

Example 1: Run Full Accessibility Audit

typescript

const tester = new AccessibilityTester();

const report = await tester.audit('http://localhost:3000', {
  level: 'AA',
  viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 }
});

console.log(`Accessibility Score: ${report.summary.score}/100`);
console.log(`WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance: ${report.compliance.wcag21AA ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
console.log(`Critical Issues: ${report.issues.critical.length}`);
console.log(`Serious Issues: ${report.issues.serious.length}`);

Example 2: Test Specific Component

typescript

const componentReport = await tester.testComponent('#main-form', {
  rules: ['1.1.1', '1.4.3', '2.1.1', '4.1.2']
});

console.log('Form Accessibility Issues:');
for (const issue of componentReport.issues.critical) {
  console.log(`  - ${issue.ruleId}: ${issue.description}`);
  console.log(`    Fix: ${issue.elements[0]?.fix}`);
}

Example 3: CI/CD Integration

typescript

// In CI pipeline
const report = await tester.audit('http://staging.example.com');

if (report.summary.score < 80) {
  console.error('Accessibility score below threshold!');
  process.exit(1);
}

if (report.issues.critical.length > 0) {
  console.error('Critical accessibility issues found!');
  process.exit(1);
}

console.log('✅ Accessibility checks passed');
