A11y is a great vector for automation of UI!

Using a11y APIs for an app’s tests exercises both the app and its a11y. Apparently Apple does some of its automated testing this way.

Yes, the test suite must be created and run regularly. So there is a non zero dev effort and ongoing cloud resources. But once in place it’s win win.

Perhaps open source culture could follow in Apple’s footsteps?
